New Season Underway

For an early season game, you never know what to expect with the weather.   Not a bad day with heavy rain at game time, but at least it was somewhat warm.  Other than getting nailed by stray shot, great day and happy with my results.   Here are a few samples that I shot for Inside Lacrosse. 

Georgetown University vs Mount St. Mary's

No. 9 Georgetown held Mount St. Mary's to only one first half goal en route to an 11-6 win on Wednesday night at the Multi-Purpose field. The Mount kept it close for a while and their family and fans thought they might be able to pull off an upset, but Georgetown scored eight goals in the second half to pull away.
Another great showing from the Georgetown Prep alums, junior Brian Tabb and junior Ryan Shuler . 

Looking forward to covering the next game on Sunday when Georgetown will host Big East rival Notre Dame. This game will feature 12 Georgetown Prep alums between GT and ND.  The game will be shown live on ESPNU with my favorite Caps announcer Joe Beninati calling the game.

 

Stanford vs University Maryland Women

Women's Lacrosse is one of my favorite sports to shoot, you get to see some great expressions and emotions without the facemask and helmet from the men’s game.  Not a big fan of shooting under the lights, but I tried my best on Thursday evening in College Park.   Not much of game with the #2-ranked Maryland blowing past No. 8 Stanford,  20-8.

Harvard at Georgetown University

Great to see all the Georgetown Prep alumni on the field and getting good playing time at GU  It took #13 Georgetown 9 goals in the second half to pull head for a 13-12 win over #12 Harvard Wednesday afternoon at the Multi-Sport Field.  Exciting game and tight until the very end with Harvard visiting GU. Georgetown improves to 1-1 overall, while Harvard falls to 1-1.

Lacrosse is a Spring Sport?

NCAA Lacrosse in underway with some of the first games in February. It was great to see the support at Towson University with a nice crowd to see #15 Bucknell tak on Towson. Good game with Towson getting a lead early only to see it Bucknell take the lead late with a 6-0 run in the fourth quarter and pull away for a 13-9 win. Tim Brandau from Bucknell had a career high six goal, eight points and five ground balls. Had a great time and it was good to get back into shooting Lacrosse.  

58 Days and counting..

The official lacrosse season starts in less than 58 days and on the newsstands this week is the Inside Lacrosse Yearbook. Yours truly has several game photos featured including several of the Under Armor All American games I shot for IL last July.

Also, IL featured one of my shots from the Georgetown vs. Rutgers game last season as the main photo for the Big East Conference section. Glad to see my photo used, but really…Rutgers as the main highlight for the new Big East Lacrosse Conference? I guess you can only use Syracuse so many times.
