Game Reporting of Oregon Ego versus Case Western Reserve Fighting

In today's first round of USA Ultimate's College Championship, Oregon Ego played Case Western Reserve Fighting Gobies (18) in Pool B of the Men's Division.

Here's how it started:

Case Western just took a 1-0 lead on Oregon...and kinda celebrated like they won a national championship.

The Fighting Gobies played well with a 3-point lead into half (8-5), and continued to lead 12-10 at the soft cap. And, then Oregon Ego took over and scored the next and final 4 points to win the game.

The final was that the favored team won by 2 goals. The game could, rightfully yet simply, be reported as Oregon won 14-12 over Case Western Reserve. But excluding the halftime score - or even the score at the soft cap - would miss out on what was an exciting game that some labelled as an "upset alert."

"Oregon win over Case Western Reserve 14-12 (5-8 half)" is a much better report of the game score by providing context of how Ego overcame a halftime deficit and dominated the 2nd half  outscoring Case with 9 goals to 4 goals.
