Like the Blog? Get the Book!

All season this blog has showcased the amazing work of fan photographers. Now we have put our best shots into a 120-page book. Click that link to preview and optionally purchase a copy.

Called Tough and Together (the team's motto coming out of time-outs), the book features front and back covers designed by Deb Gumbley. Inside there is a special page featuring the team's and Tara's achievements, followed by a chapter for each player. The main attraction is one dazzling action shot after another as our cameras caught these amazing women in mid-flight again and again.

The book is only available on-line from the page linked above. It costs $32.95 in soft-cover, plus sales tax and shipping. The price is the minimum, and all goes to the publisher, Blurb.com; no money comes back to the photographers or the program.

Semi-Final, 3 April 2011

Baranduin Briggs

Well, the outcome was not what we wished for, but the pre-game festivities were quite nice. Baranduin posted pics of the send-off to set to continuous including a great shot of the team on the "BOMP" of All Right Now,

And, scrolling further down the gallery page, game pictures, including several shots of Nneka performing the near-impossible:

Dave Cortesi

We posted 26 pictures of the fans, band, and team at the send-off to our smugmug gallery including several like this of the team grooving to the band,

as well as a couple showing alumnae schmoozing at the arena, like this of four former players (how many did you see play?):

We posted 14 pics of the doings at the arena on the day before the first games to smugmug including an overview of the arena,

and some shots of the players and coaches at the open practice and autograph session, and three pics of our incoming recruits, Greenfield and Orrange:

Don't adjust your monitor, the Fieldhouse floor was really that butter-yellow color! (It was part of the historic "Hoosiers" look.) Click through to the gallery for the rest.
