Northwest Collegiate 7s Rugby Tournament

In case you didn't know, Western has rugby teams.  In case you are into gruesome hits, fast paced action, and awesome games with killer athletes I thought I'd let you know you should make it to some of their matches.  After a quick text to friend and manbeast Colin Moy Saturday night, he filled me in on a few details for the Northwest Collegiate 7s Rugby Tournament at Memorial Stadium at the Seattle Center.  I went down Sunday morning not quite knowing what to expect, except a good time covering one of my favorite sports to shoot.  I must admit, I did not expect to see D-I schools there, or so many other colleges representing the entire northwest. WSU, UW, Oregon, Oregon State, Idaho, and UPS and UBC and others were all in attendance making for some of the fastest and most violent rugby I've ever seen in the quick games that are  7s. 

Not to mention that out of all those great teams, Western took second

Western Women's Soccer defeats Simon Fraser 1-0

Everyone one of these girls could probably beat me up.  Which makes shooting their games pretty awesome, because they choose to beat eachother up instead.  The weather was gracious enough to hold out for this fast-paced battle on Orca Field at Whatcom College, and the Western Ladies came out on top 1-0 in the end.

WWU Hockey, can't get enough!

When I found out Western had a hockey team 2 years ago, I thought it might be cool to see a game or two.

I didn't realize I'd be hooked to going and shooting some great games with great athletes and seriously hard hitting action.  It seems everyone else has been realizing it too. I can't get enough Western Hockey lately, it's an absolute challenge to shoot through puck scuffed glass, in a terribly lit building and a game that is as unpredictable as this guy.

It's that time again, WWU Hockey!

Absolutely one of my favorite sports to shoot, the Western Hockey team also makes it a blast to watch when they pummel all comers to the Bellingham Sportsplex Ice Arena.

UW came to town for the first game of the year, and with a few hundred spectators packed around the arena, a gritty showdown was sure to follow.  In a hard fought battle Western came out on top 2-1.
