Georgia Tech was matched up with NC State for the semifinals game of the ACC tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. I really didn’t know what to expect today, since Georgia Tech had already beaten NC State at home. I knew there was going to be a lot of action, since the last match up ended up very close. Now with more on the line, each team would be giving their all to get to the finals game against Duke. First picture is the tip off, a little wide angle action.

This weekend was full of sports. Here is a preview of the Women’s Volleyball team against NC state. This week wasn’t as suspense packed with the Jackets going 3-0 for the series. Bailey Hunter demonstrates in a dominating fashion, killing for a point.

Asia Stawicka. number 2, is a major asset to the team, with her blocking skills at the net.

Here is my experiment with slow shutter. I didn’t get the sharpness I wanted, but I still like the outcome.

As every sport, the teams come together at the end to give each other a hand.
