Well, this was an interesting game. I have shot in snow before as well as rain, but this was like nothing I have ever seen before. The field was covered the entire game despite the tractors trying to clear it, there were times where the game would just stop because someone would miss a pass and the ball would get lost (even after they switched to an orange ball, which I think they should use in men’s lacrosse anyways!) At one point I turned around to the crowd and there were some kids making a row of snowmen on the bleachers, coaches, players, and some fans would run around with snow shovels trying to keep the boundary lines and creases clear. It was crazy. If it wasn’t for the fact that I left absolutely soaked, I wish it would snow more often. It added interesting detail and lighting.

This is a little bit longer post then I typically do…. I couldn’t help it, the game had lots of ups and downs and therefore there were lots of pictures…. there probably were more downs in the long run since BYU ended up losing 13-9. Sigh.

BYU came out super strong, actually they went up on Michigan 3-0 by the end of the first quarter. Then Michigan went on a 5-0 run in the second quarter. Yikes. I am not sure where the intensity went that I saw in the first quarter but it just kinda disappeared. You can’t let a team like Michigan go up on you by that much, they are too good, as has been proven by the fact they have not lost a game in two years and are back to back national champions. There have been some good and bad things the last few weeks, I think a lot of it will be just putting together a complete game which just has not happened yet.

This is one of my favorite shots of the evening, actually possibly even of this season so far.
