Past Photos: Prom dress rugby

July 13, 2020

Dear viewers,

Photo Director Anna von Pechmann and Photo Editor Lucy Morantz would like to highlight photo galleries throughout July that were not digitally published independently during the 2019-20 academic year. With the new media tab, we want to ensure that every Collegian photographer’s work is represented on the website. The series “Past Photos” will be expanded every Tuesday and Thursday for the next four weeks.

On Nov. 8, 2019, Collegian photographers Lucy Morantz and Ryan Schmidt reported on the Colorado State University women’s rugby team getting together to play “prom dress rugby.” This is a tradition the team does annually to celebrate the end of the season, where the whole team puts on prom dresses and plays a friendly game of rugby. “It’s just a good team bonding experience to have for us to just goof around and have fun all together,” CSU rugby player Emily McGlone said.

Here are Morantz and Schmidt’s photos from the game:

About the Contributor

Lucy Morantz, Co-Photo Director

Lucy Morantz is a fourth-year journalism and political science student minoring in legal studies. She is one of the two photo directors for the fall 2022 semester. Growing up with parents who met working as journalists, media has been an ever-present component of Morantz’s life, and this is ultimately what inspired her to pursue a degree and career in journalism. She had always been pulled toward career paths that provided a creative outlet; photojournalism and The Collegian have allowed her to do precisely that while simultaneously fostering her passions and gaining meaningful career experience. Throughout her college years, Morantz has worked with The Collegian every year. Growing up with the publication this way has given her a unique perspective on all the ways student media has helped students achieve their post-graduation goals, making her excited to see what her own career path with lead to. Additionally, the opportunity to collaborate with so many other student journalists to create a final product will be her most valued takeaway from her time at Colorado State University. Beyond her role at The Collegian, Morantz is also a College of Liberal Arts student ambassador and has interned with various political organizations. Outside the newsroom and classroom, Morantz can most likely be found paddle boarding at Horsetooth Reservoir, strolling through Old Town with friends or curating a new hyper-specific playlist to match her many moods.
