Under Armour All America Lacrosse 2013

Today with my badly sprained ankle in a walking boot I headed to Towson University for one of my favorite events of the summer -- the Under Armour All America Lacrosse showcase. Every time I head anywhere near Johnny Unitas Stadium I can''t help but think of this amazing moment:

But I digress. I was there to cover the game for the Northwest Current and needed a good shot of Visitation's Kelly Myers for a feature story. Being an all-star game it was hard to key in on her -- there were constant player rotations to get everyone playing time and I was a little out of touch shooting lacrosse ( The last time I shot it was back on Memorial Day weekend). But with just a few minutes remaining in the game, I came up with a clutch shot that will like be my main image in this week's paper.



Patience and anticipation were key to nailing this shot. Knowing the sport well and catching on to the sets D.C. was running helped and I was locked in to capture the shot.
