Cross State Saturday Night - 'The Rivalry'

The end of the game last night could not have come any quicker as I was not really prepare for the cold and rain.   Add to this a 8:00 PM start and bad Byrd stadium lighting, surprised I got any good ones from the Maryland vs. Johns Hopkins game on Saturday night.   
Nice turn out with an announced crowd of 9,343 to see the Blue Jays defeat No.2 Maryland 15-12. These schools have played over 100 times and now they have an official trophy presented annually to the winners.   My first reaction to the new trophy was that they could have done better,looks like something made in Shop class.

Lacrosse is a springtime sport

First game of the season and spring has not yet arrived in DC.   Always wanted to cover a snow game and I was able to get in a few before they called the game, something about not being able to see the ball.   See more of my game shots photographs here and here.   Mike Bahniuk, DC based sports photographer.  

Great crowd at College Park (10,223) to see the Blue Jays 7-4 victory over the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins. This was the 1,000th lacrosse game for the University of Maryland and the game had a playoff atmosphere at Byrd Stadium.  See more of my game photos here.   Mike Bahniuk, Washington DC sports photographer. 

Bad Light - Good Light

My day started in College Park with UNC vs. Maryland at noon and then to Baltimore to catch the second game of the Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Classic with UVA vs. JHU. The MD-UNC game was at noon and I was struggling with finding the right settings and the right position on the field. The second game in Baltimore was much better with the later afternoon sun allowing for some great shots. 

Great Day at College Park

Great weather in DC and the first warm day of the year with everyone outside and thinking Spring is here.   College Park was busy with softball, wrestling and lacrosse games all at the same time.  Great to get out and get my first lacrosse game in.  Check out more of the Penn State vs University of Maryland women's lacrosse game at Inside Lacrosse.com
