Most memorable moment: "My most
memorable moment was a road trip to

down. She couldn't stand me by the end
of the game. It was an acceptance into
college soccer."

all the happenings with the team and the

pionship. We played it in Kenan Stadium.
After growing up, here, I never believed

a more direct influence on the outcome."
Most memorable moment: Huber says
that, in a sense, her most memorable
moment has lasted four years. "I really
wanted to play collegiate soccer, but I
didn't get recruited. Anson (UNC coach

am now."

a lot to me. It's a thrill to make the score
happen, rather than just scoring." Kelly's .
corner kick in the 1981 championship game
was headed into the net by Diane Beatty
to begin the Tar Heels' string. "That game
really stands out since it was the first, and
here (in Kenan Stadium). We tried to take
a victory lap, but we only made it halfway

people on the team. We're almost like a
family, weVe been together for four years."

championship) is very important on a team
standpoint; it's exciting."

On the possibility of winning No. 4: "The

spent on Fetzer Field over the past four
seasons."

"Being raised in Texas, coming to the East
Coast was a culture shock. Now I'm
climatized. The West and East Coasts are

carefree, laid-back attitude of the people
in Chapel Hill and the freedom of college."

administrative criminal justice and said
