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.

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.
