COSTA MESA, Calif. - Jessup's newest sport, STUNT, is officially underway as the Warriors competed in three games this weekend down in Costa Mesa.
 
The inaugural game for Jessup STUNT took place on Friday evening as the Warriors squared off with the Eagles from Concordia University-Irvine. The Eagles took the match by the final of 19-4, and even with the loss, excitement levels for Jessup were high as after months of preparation, Jessup was finally able to compete. 
 
Back on the Vanguard campus for game two Saturday, Jessup fell 20-5 to the Lancers of California Baptist. At the break, Jessup trailed 8-1 but produced four points in the final half to improve their point total from the night before. 
 
The weekend concluded against the hosting Lions of Vanguard, with Jessup again improving their point totals. Vanguard took the game 18-6. Again trailing 8-1 at the halfway point, Jessup turned in their best second-half performance of the weekend.
 
Points are awarded in STUNT via the routines performed, as in each of the first three quarters, there are four routines performed. Only three routines are performed in the fourth. 
 
Jessup's inaugural season continues on March 13, when the Jessup campus gets its first look at the sport, as the Warriors will host a duo of games. In town will be the Lancers along with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
