PSP photographer Nicolae Stoian was on hand for Saturday’s drenching. Here’s a look at what he saw.

“What so proudly we hailed”
The starting XI
Braving the elements
Amobi Okugo wins the ball
Keon Daniel is fouled
Stefani Miglioranzi going airborne
Defending
Danny Califf positions to block
Daniel heading upfield
Carlos Ruiz delivers…
…past a diving Kasey Keller
Sebastien Le Toux is tracking
Sheanon Williams winning the air war
Kyle Nakazawa delivers to the box…
…but Ruiz can’t finish
Ruiz is carded
Le Toux on the break
Carlos Valdes fights for the jump
Harvey looks to clear
Flared out, but still believing…
…Determined, not defeated

    Great pics, as always. I find it funny that Mondi is usually the only guy smiling in the pre-game team photo.

        Maybe I should smile more if I knew I’d be in your pics. I look downright miserable in the one w/ Sheanon Williams “winning the air war”. In my defense, I was cold and wet. 😉

    Particularly great photos this week. Keller’s failed dive, Califf’s fight for position, the Valdes header, the Nakazawa service — just great stuff.
