University lacrosse match decided by epic game of rock, paper, scissors

Inclement weather may have cancelled the lacrosse game, but the battle between Western Michigan and Dayton University was fought nonetheless.

Earlier this week, the two schools were forced to put away their lacrosse sticks as the game was cancelled due to lightning in the area. But no one was interested in shaking hands and calling it a draw. These boys came to compete.

Enter one of the most epic games of rock, paper, scissors that has ever been played. Best two out of three, of course.

Western Michigan got on the board first with a deft scissors win over Dayton's paper. It's win or go home for Dayton, and this is where things get interesting.

With Western up 1-0, both teams draw the same tool on back-to-back draws; first paper, then rock. The tension in the crowd is palpable (love the collective gasps as the two teams draw the same tool twice). Western then delivers the decisive blow with the next draw; paper, wrapping up Dayton's lowly rock, and it's game over.

It may not count on its regular season record, but the Western Michigan Broncos were champions on this day. If only every rained-out game could be decided in one minute of intense competition.
