June 20, 2012 Victoria, BC - Santa Clarita's Laura Luis (left) and Victoria Highlander's Rebecca Swan battle for control in Wednesday's Women's League Soccer action at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria. The Blue Heat would win 4-2.

Why I Chose This Photo: Surprisingly, this was the first soccer game I had ever shot in my professional career, heck even in my non-professional career. I was not sure what to expect and what surprised me the most about the ladies game was the physicality of the play. They were certainly not afraid of battling hard for the ball and the intensity was there on every play. I felt this photo was a good example of that.
