Lacrosse Season Around the Corner

The upcoming lacrosse season is around the corner and it always seems to jump up on me, it's 15 degrees outside and the first games are less than a month away.  

Friday Night Under the Lights in DC

First lacrosse game of the season Friday night in DC with Georgetown hosting Maryland. It took a while to get back into the rhythm of the game.  This season, I am trying to see a different game, not sure what this is, but I think if I try to look at a different view of the game, I will get some unique and different shots.   Let’s see how this goes this season.  

NCAA Lacrosse Semi-Finals Game 1

Not much of a game after UVA pulled out to a big lead and I was struggling all day to get in the grove of the game.  First my main camera (Canon Mark III) broke (again) and I had change my set-up during the game and then UVA played keep-away the second half and the action was minimal.   Good that I had my old reliable Mark II as a back-up.   Here are a few samples from the game and good luck UVA on Monday in the Championship game. 

Tewaaraton Award Banquet

This was my third year covering the The Tewaaraton Awards for Inside Lacrosse and I enjoy learning more about the history of the game and its roots with American Indian heritage. The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award honoring the top female and male varsity collegiate lacrosse player in the United States (think Heisman Trophy, only for Lacrosse). 


I guess this also ends the official lacrosse season for me.   The sport is great with freezing early games to the 140 degree field last weekend at M&T Bank stadium for the NCAA finals. 

Go Irish and See You Monday

Notre Dame was unseated entering the tournament and many thought they Notre Dame should not have been selected limping to a 7-6 finish that featured losses to Rutgers, Fairfield, Villanova and Georgetown.   What a great time to start playing to their potential with a win over Cornell and a date with Duke for the national championship on Monday.
