This past\u00a0 weekend I had the awesome opportunity to photograph the Women’s Division III Final Four held at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, IL<\/span>.\u00a0 I was covering the event for Amherst College and also for a newspaper in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Entering the Final Four, Amherst had a record of 30-1 and had never played for a national title before.\u00a0 Their first game was the semifinal game where they took on Christopher Newport University from Virginia. Amherst defeated CNU 69-59 and advanced to their first national title game in school history.\u00a0 In the final game Amherst was to face Washington University (MO).\u00a0 Washington was about an hour or two away from their own campus.\u00a0 Since they were so close to their own campus they had many fans there to cheer them on, making it a little more difficult for Amherst to take the national title.<\/p>\n

The head coach for Amherst College, GP Gromacki (below),\u00a0 is the second most winningest current coach in Division I, II, and III with a winning percentage of .856.\u00a0 He is right behind Geno Auriemma of UConn who has a winning percentage of\u00a0 .862.
