Photographs from DCU U-18 team vs Potomac <somethings>, 5/8/2008

Don't know how many of you might be interested, but here are some pictures I took at the U-18 game on Saturday. Even if you're not that interested, check out the shots of John Maessner and Judah Cooks, ex-DCU players.

You'll notice a lot of glum faces in the post-game shots. DCU blew away Potomac 4-0 in the first half and took their foot off their necks in the second half. Potomac mounted a furious rally and just ran out of time as they lost 3-4. The DC coaches read the boys the riot act.


BTW, the shot below is my favorite (#80) and seems ripe for a caption contest . (click for larger image)
