Here is a set of photographs from the 2017 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Lacrosse National Championship game between the University of Maryland and Ohio State University. The final weekend of the tournament was held this year at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. I was assigned to cover the game for the University of Maryland Athletics department.
As a Maryland native, I can’t deny that I was rooting for the Terps to win, not only because of my Maryland pride, but in the hopes of getting some fun pictures of the celebration. Sure enough, the team was in control throughout the game, and pulled out the program’s first National Championship victory in 41 years. I had a good time shooting despite the rain. Championship games like this are always a lot of fun. Thanks to the University of Maryland for having me out!
