Senior Ericka Simpson gathers the team together one last time after a tough 49-35 loss to rival MNU in the NAIA title game on March 22, 2016, at the Silverstein Eye Centers Arena in Independence, Missouri. Following the women’s basketball team’s success all the way to the championship game was a fun ride, and it was unfortunate to see them fall one game short. However, when everyone rushed the court after the semifinals win against Benedictine to go to the title game, it was certainly a top Baker sports moment.

Senior defensive back Avery Parker is embraced by his family after the Wildcats' 45-41 comeback win in the NAIA-FCS semifinal game against Eastern Oregon on Dec. 3, 2016, at Liston Stadium. Baker overcame a 17-point deficit in the final five minutes to advance to the championship game in Daytona Beach, Florida. After four years of photographing Baker sports, this is easily the moment of all moments. Just when everyone started to think it was over for good, Baker defeated all odds. Rushing the field with all the other screaming, crying, overwhelmed fans was an experience I’ll never forget. I’m honored to say this photo went on to win the Society of Professional Journalists’ national photography contest in the sports photography division in May 2017.
