One Michigan student captured some incredible photos of a Wolverines touchdown during the team’s loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions in State College on Saturday night.
Unfortunately for the photographer, Samii Stoloff, a junior at Michigan who also works for the Big Ten Network, Michigan running back Karan Higdon went flying out of bounds after reaching for the pylon for the score and a collision occurred.
As a result of the collision, Stoloff was stretchered from the field.
Here is video of Higdon’s touchdown:

Despite the scary situation which left Stoloff on crutches, she took to social media on Sunday night to that Penn State paramedics for their help and to everyone who sent out their well wishes.
All I can continue to say is thank you. Thank you to everyone for well wishes and especially to the PSU paramedics who helped me last night💙

Perhaps most impressive in all of this, however, is that Stoloff managed to hold onto her camera until the last second to capture these incredible shots of Higdon crossing the goal line.

Now that’s dedication to your craft.
Michigan went on to be blown out by the Nittany Lions, 42-13, but at least Stoloff came away with a memorable story.
