150 stunning color photographs of the first men's lacrosse team to
complete a perfect season.
Lacrosse legend Bob Scott describes Johns Hopkins's 2005 men's lacrosse
season as "the greatest in the university's history." The last time the
Blue Jays claimed the NCAA lacrosse championship, in 1987, Head Coach
David Pietramala was on the field as a sophomore defenseman. In
Undefeated, photographer James T. Van Rensselaer and writer John Jiloty
of Inside Lacrosse magazine tell the exciting story of the Blue Jays'
perfect season and their dramatic play in the NCAA tournament.
Van Rensselaer's spectacular color photographs capture this
unforgettable season in all its grit and glory. His lens brings you so
close you can feel the intensity of a crucial faceoff, hear the ball rip
through the net, see the sweat dripping into the eyes of a focused
defender, and you almost have to flinch at collisions that seem just a
split second away.
All of what made this season THE season for the Jays is here--from the
seniors who led the team to four grueling overtime victories to the
young players who performed so well in memorable games against perennial
powers like Duke, Virginia, and Princeton. Undefeated bears witness to a
high point in the long and illustrious tradition of Hopkins lacrosse and
celebrates the players who brought the program back to the top.
