11/15 - NCAA Tournament 1st Round

I am very proud for the RIT's Women Soccer. They made their first ever NCAA appearance this season after posting an impressive record of 11-5-2. I had a lot of fun shooting them this season and couldn't be more happier for them after I heard they made it. When I saw that the first game of the tournament was in Pittsburgh, a mere four-hour drive away from Rochester, I knew I HAD to go.

So I went and shot the game. I thought the game was great. It was very evenly matched up between RIT and Ohio Northern University. It was quite a back-and-forth match in terms of ball control. ONU scored the first goal in the first half, but RIT responded in the second half with freshman Quincey Ornellas' (a fellow photographer) goal. 

The game ended up being tied, so it was time for overtime. As usual, the game were still pretty even. In the end, it was time for penalty kicks.

RIT and ONU each scored their first two kicks, but unfortunately, ONU got ahead of RIT and eventually won the game to advance to the second round.

It was pretty heart-breaking to see the girls lose the game, but...that's okay. At least the girls can have something to say to their kids someday in the future.
