Washington at Stanford, plus Belated Xmas Pics!

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin didn't have her usual time for editing, so ended up posting 104 shots (maybe it'll be pared down by the time you look) to a Smugmug gallery. There's a lot of great shots among them, like this one, which I at first thought was the perfect pic of Bonnie launching a three. Then I looked closer...

Keep scrolling to the bottom for a belated Christmas present for B. Briggs!

Scott Uyeno

Scott has posted 52 shots to this Flickr set, with lots of good action like this of Mikaela getting on a loose ball:

Or this of Lili on defense:

Michael Li

Michael writes that he missed the first half—for a life or death emergency, I assume—but posted 14 second-half shots to a Flickr set with several nice action shots that include the identical moment caught by Baranduin above, plus a good shot of a "Bird" jumper:

Tom O'Connor

Tom posted a batch of north-east corner shots to a Smugmug gallery, including this one of Kailee hauling down a rebound:

Cardinal at Town & Country

Back in December the Cardinal held a fan event at Town & Country plaza in Palo Alto. Baranduin went, and put 20 shots of the players interacting with fans in this Smugmug gallery, with several really striking face shots like this of E. Payne:

Arizona at Stanford, 16 February 2014

Tom O'Connor

New contributor Tom posts a couple dozen pics in a Smugmug gallery, with warmups before (and some bonus Sunken Diamond baseball action at the end) and some action shots like this of SeJ causing major grief to Kara Griffitts:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts 83 pics in a Smugmug gallery, with the only shot of all 13 Dollies on the floor, nice shots of Bonnie's postgame interview, and some action like this of "Bird" looking for a pass:

Scott Uyeno

Scott put up 52 pics at a Flickr set, with warmup and postgame and in between action including this of Briana attacking:

Michael Li

Michael put up 20 photos on a Flickr set, with action and post-game shots, including this one of Briana on defense:

Dave Cortesi

We posted 19 shots to a Smugmug gallery, including the exact same Briana attack/collision as shown above but from the other side! However, we were after the Pink of Pink day and this was the pinkest of all:

ASU at Stanford, 14 February 2014

Scott Uyeno

Scott says he got back from a 10K race in time to post 58 pics to a Flickr set, highlighted by this one of Lili in flight:

Michael Li

Michael puts up 15 shots in this Flickr set, with a nice continuous sequence of Sara almost staying in-bounds, but let's tease with another Lili shot:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts a bunch of action shots to a Smugmug gallery and because we are in hurry to get to the Arizona game we're not gonna take a lot of time to pick the most striking hilite but just make it a Lili trifecta day:

Stanford at Cal, 2 February 2014

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin toted her camera and moose to Haas pavilion and shares 119 pics of the event in a Smugmug gallery, with some atmosphere pictures but mostly crisp, dramatic action, like this one of a Chiney block,

Or this of an extremely held ball,

And reaction shots, of which this reaction to a 3-pointer is a classic. Don't miss Tara's expression.

Cal at Stanford, 30 January 2014

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 67 pics to a Flickr set, capturing the intensity of this game in such shots as this, when Brittany Boyd rode Erica McCall to the ground,

Or when Lili and Reshanda Gray tangled:

He also got Karlie shooting the three in the final second of the first half, but you have to click through to see that one.

David Cortesi

Not a great shooting day; took over 100 but found just 6 worth showing in a Smugmug gallery, including Taylor and Karlie shooting threes, and this of Chiney being fouled:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts an even 100 shots to a Smugmug Gallery with a ton of crisp, dramatic action shots. Ordinarily we feature Stanford players but this one is an absolutely perfect portrait of Brittany Boyd:

Do click through for many more of this quality:

Michael Li

Michael presents 28 shots from high on the south-east in a Flickr set including Kate Paye's shoes and other action including this of Lili guarding Afure Jemerigbe:
