2011 USAU College Championships Women’s Semifinals: Oregon vs Michigan

Going into this semi-finals game I surely thought that Oregon was going to easily walk away with the win and I hadn’t really seen too much of Michigan throughout the year to develop an opinion of their team. The Oregon Women’s team is one of my favorite college women’s teams to shoot because of their athleticism, likeliness to huck, and big plays.

Shooting more volleyball but shooting less

I have been tying to think more about composition and have been more selective while shooting. I have also had interns at the paper shadow me on pretty much [...]
womens soccer…rockin the yellow jerseys
I’m always happy to arrive at the soccer games and find out that our team isn’t wearing the blue jerseys. The color is better, it pops more, and its lighter. Just like the mens team, the women’s team is also looking strong this year. Sorry I don’t have anything technical to say about shooting this [...]
lights, camera, work it
