The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team” – Phil Jackson
The beginning of the fall season started out in early September as students arrived for the beginning of the fall semester. They were met with student-athletes who had been in Maine for a few weeks preparing for their upcoming season. The fall season encapsulated Women and Men’s cross country, Women’s volleyball, Women and Men’s soccer, Women’s field hockey and the Men’s football team. This article focuses on some of my favorite shots I took over the fall season of the student-athletes within their respective sports.
