By Laura Rheinheimer A fight broke out between two soccer teams 9:30 Monday night in Spartan Complex 44B after members of the teams clashed in what was said to be an intensive match.
Shortly after starting the match, the "intensity of the game" erupted into a fist fight, said witnesses.
Two members of Associated Students, who were refereeing the game, said they called the university police department after the violence began.
A man was arrested in front of the Event Center at around 10 p.m.
UPD reported arresting Angel Serratos for an outstanding warrant.
The Freedom and Conquerors teams were playing against each other in the quarter-finals of the 2006 indoor soccer men's playoffs.
Several members of the Freedom team said most of the other team ran from the area, and said two men from the team were arrested.
Adil Asslam, of the Freedom team, said he was punched in the brawl.
Ismail Jorio, also of Freedom, said the fight began when a player from Freedom went for the ball and a member of the Conquerors "jumped on him and pushed him real hard."
"Both teams were involved," said an unidentified A.S. member who refereed the game.
"The games usually have really good rivalry," said another A.S. member who wrote an official report of the incident for A.S.

Nice article Laura. It's a shame it wasn't printed. It sucks working with people who are less motivated than you are, especially in a school environment where things like this should be pushed for.
