Pictures from Fall '09 Maryland Trip
I'm finally catching up from the season and able to post some great pictures from our trip to Maryland in November. We traveled up on Thursday afternoon and were able to tour Washington, DC during our trip. This trip, along with our Lehigh/Bucknell trip, was one of the most memorable away trips from our 2009 season. Not only did we play a fantastic match versus the 2008 National Champions (lost 1-2), but we were able to take our players into Washington and see some of the beautiful monuments.
