Cal State Bakersfield at Stanford, 22 December 2011

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin took a long, late lunch break to take 28 shots she posted to a Smugmug gallery, with Santa and Bonnie and Jos but also this of Sara James, who had a rockin' game:

Scott Uyeno

Scott posted a bunch of shots to a Flickr set with lots of north-end action including this one of Joslyn going for a block:

David Cortesi

We posted 18 pics to a Smugmug gallery with Santa, Sara, Nneka, and a nice head-shot of Erica, who ran the point for several minutes:

Posted from SJC while waiting to board a flight to Seattle! See you next year!

Tennessee at Stanford, 20 December 2011

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 34 action shots to his Flickr stream with lots of close action under the North basket, including this of Toni getting fouled on a drive:

Diane Roberts

New contributor Diane shot from the SE corner and posted 46 pics to a Smugmug Gallery, portraying well the ambience of a sold-out game. Some game action, too, but one of her best action shots is of the Showtime Dunkteam arial act at half-time:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts 45 shots to her Smugmug gallery including so many great actions shots of Nneka (of course), Chiney, Bonnie, Jos, that it was hard to pick one to feature, but by an eyelash it has to be...

Also, Baranduin caught the group-circle formed by both teams after the game. This is something Stanford only does with Tennessee, so far as I know, and it's a nice moment:

Michael Li

Michael says he didn't take a lot of shots because, "As a fan photographer, fan comes first." But he did post a few shots to a Flickr set, including one he says "more or less sums up how things went for the Lady Vols"--

and more...?

Anybody else?

Princeton at Stanford, 17 December 2011

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin couldn't get away from work until 1, and only arrived at Maples for the second half. Just the same she posted 27 shots, mostly action, to Smugmug. Here's one example among many:

Scott Uyeno

Scott shot as usual from high in the North end and posted 25 pics to a Flickr gallery including this of Jos and Erica going for a rebound:

Michael Li

Michael posts only a few shots to his Flickr set including some nice action of Toni and of Bonnie, but the one that jumps out of his collection yelling "feature me! feature me!" is this gorgeous portrait of Ros G.O.

David Cortesi

We posted 18 shots to our Smugmug gallery including pics of alumnae Anita Kaplan and Milena Flores, Jasmine Camp talking to the FBC, and the latest Borchardt baby, but also this showing one way to keep Nneka from scoring:

P.S. Deb Gumbly got a great shot of a very similar foul (same action, different Princeton player), see this from her gallery!

Stanford at Fresno State, 4 December 2011

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin reports, "My camera falls under the category of 'professional' cameras, which weren't allowed inside Save Mart Arena, so I didn't even try to get the 70-200 or even the shorter 105 back up lens in. I just went for the 50mm... and sat real close. The lighting seemed about as bad as Maples. But I think I got a few reasonably good shots." Check her out at Smugmug.

Uh, yeah, those look alright, Briggs. One excellent addition to the "Elbows" series, look for it, and several good action snaps of the Sisterhood of O, like this,

And, let's give the bench some love: Grace Mashore:

David Cortesi

We trucked right past the guards with a big ol' zoom but didn't do much with it, only a few worth posting to our Smugmug gallery including Sarah Boothe showing how the Cardinal out-rebounded the Bulldogs 2:1.

UC Davis at Stanford, 30 November 2011

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 24 shots to his Flickr set where along with action shots of Nneka, Chiney, and Erica, he caught this of Joslyn Tinkle working on her career night:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin writes that this was "a bit of a rough game for me—I am a 2nd generation UCD graduate." But she posted 32 pics to her Smugmug gallery with action shots of Chiney, Erica, Bonnie, Toni, but this absolutely classic Nneka rebound:

Michael Li

Michael posts 12 shots to a Flickr Set including action of Joslyn and Toni, a nice head shot of Sara, and this which he captions, "Sara James and the hunchback of UC Davis."

Dave Cortesi

We posted 24 pics to our Smugmug gallery, including nice head shots of several players from warm-ups. But there were open courtside seats and we "occupied" one during the first half and got some actual action shots for once including this one of Joslyn surprising an Aggie defender:
