Women in sports and a bit of

[MichaelHarris]

asking for help. Some of you know I do sports photography for WSU from time to time. One of my new gigs is the Women's Rugby team. They recently beat their rival Western Washington and are now headed to Stanford for the DII Collegiate Women's Playoffs. After defeating Western Washington University, the Cougs finished out their regular season with an undefeated record of 7-0 (6-0 league, 1-0 non-league). The final score of the game was 29-0. Thank you so much to all of the fans and parents that made it out to watch the game!

I'm a huge supporter of Women's athletics and do whatever I can to help in anyway, either publicity or money and in this instance both. I've been the Women's basketball photographer for two years and this is my first year as Rugby photographer. Not a lot of people know that monetary support for some Women's sports is limited, the school will provide some matching funds. The money they need for the trip to Stanford is around 10,000 dollars and they've raised 5000 including some funds from WSU.

My wife and I will be donating a check tomorrow. Understanding that times are bad I would like for those that have a little extra to consider helping these ladies out.
