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

December 19, 2011 in Photography, Sports, Ulitmate

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. They are fun to photograph. I felt like they got over confident as they knew they were a top team, and got complacent at a time where games really have to be earned. Michigan played a great game and showed that they deserved to play the next day in the finals. For this game Alex Peters, a fellow ultimate photographer, let me borrow his 40mm f/2.8. It sure did feel good to get behind some longer glass again.
