Mens Soccer vs. NIU

Looked out my dorm window and saw a soccer game going on so headed over to check it out. Sports didn't mention it but figured I'd go to try and get some shots for the portfolio. This is my first soccer game with the 80-200 f/2.8. Either I got a lot better or this lens is just freaking amazing. I'm thinking the latter.
