Caps Fall To Florida Panthers
Last night we had guest photographer, Bill Ingalls shooting for us.
Besides being a long time friend, Bill has traveled the world photographing missions for NASA. His assignments have taken him from familiar locations, such as the Kennedy Space Center, to the inside of an active volcano in Alaska; the Oval Office; the inside of a DC-8, flying through a hurricane; the hearing rooms of Capitol Hill, to the brutally cold Kazakh steppes.
Bill's work has been featured in Apple's professional profiles. An exhibition of Bill's photos can be viewed at the Washington School of Photography until December 10, 2008. The exhibition was part of FotoWeek DC 2008, a week long celebration of photography in the nation's capital.

Win Over Ohio Gives Mason A Lifetime .500
George Mason is off to a strong start this season with a record coming into the game at 4-1. They took on Ohio's Bobcats from the MAC conference who have only played two games, both of which were victorious.

Mason scored first and kept the lead the entire first half with their largest lead of 19. They ended the first half up by ten doing an excellent job on defense holding the Bobcats to merely 30 points. The Patriots forced 9 turnovers and did not allow Ohio any easy looks at the basket. Ohio only shot 33% compared to Mason who shot 55%. With a lead of ten Mason was still worried, knowing that last year they where up by 18 over the Bobcats at half and ended up loosing the game.
History did not repeat itself as Mason held the lead the entire game to win 74-65. The Patriots spread the wealth on scoring and five players score double figures, Smith and Long leading the team with 15 points a piece. Monroe was a dominant force on the boards rebounding 9.

Ohio has a new coach in with two games under his belt compared to Larranaga with 710. An interesting side note, Mason's all time record is just shy of .500 at 596-597 with their first ever game and win back in 1966 against U.S. Navy's Bethesda Hospital team. That was also the only time Mason's all time record was over .500.
The Patriots will play Liberty on the road Monday followed by their first CAA game on the road against Drexel. They return to the Patriot Center December 19th to face Radford and try to keep their undefeated home streak going.

Patriots Topple Mountaineers

Coming into tonight's game the George Mason University Patriots had won their first game, then earned a dominate win over Brown in their home opener (89-52) which was the team's second largest margin of victory ever in a home opener. They then split on the road with a loss to Hampton and a win over ECU which puts the Patriots going into the game at 3-1. Mount St. Mary's came into the game at 1-1 with a win over Loyola and a tuff loss on the road against Virginia Tech 57-62.
While Mason started off with some good looks at the basket while the crowed cheered on but could not get anything to sink. Coach Larranaga subbed in some freshman youth from the bench, Andre Cornelius and Ryan Pearson, and the Patriots rallied from an eight point deficit. They could not hold the lead and went into half down two 27-29. The Patriots struggled from the three and only sank 1 of 8 compared to Mountaineers who made 3 of 5.

Hustle must have been the halftime talk, at the start of the second half the Patriots came out fired up and seemed unstoppable scoring 15 in the first 5 minutes. They had several steals and seemed to rebound the ball off the boards as if they where playing a JV squad. This added fuel to the already fired up fans. The Patriots pulled ahead to keep the lead with a 72-60 Victory over Mt. St. Mary's. The Patriots will take on Ohio this Saturday at home.

DC United vs. Chicago Fire (0-1), After The First Period
It has stayed dry so far despite threats of Thunderstorms, so far the only thing dampening spirits is the single goal by Chicago Fire late in the first period.

Playoff Hopes Beginning To Fade In Loss To Pittsbugh
So what do you say about a game that is lost in the final 40 seconds of play? What is worse is that it was scored mistakingly by Nicklas Backstrom. An empty net goal by the Penguins 15 seconds later by Jordon Staal had the many Pittsburgh fans in the stands on their feet cheering for their 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals.
The 5-3 loss to the Pittshburgh Penguins makes getting into the playoffs that much tougher for the Washington Capitals. Joe Dumas, of OffWing puts it this way, "the two losses on the weekend make it that much harder for the Caps to sneak into the playoffs, as they are 6 points out of the 8th seed and 7 points out of the Southeast lead. With only 12 games to go, they need to do something special to make the postseason."
