Thank you
for the species ID, Laura (and for the genus suggestion, Lynette).

You're welcome,
we're still learning how to separate these. The ID is based on general appearance and range. I'm trying to get all the Tigrosas together as there are many filed outside of their genus in the Guide. There's still a slight chance it could be T. annexa which is more commonly found in southern states. So far they appear to be more boldly marked but I don't have a feel for how much they vary yet.

Looks like...
a wolf spider in Lycosidae. Look in that section while you wait for an expert to chime in.
