Heather O'Reilly sets sights on Courage, championships, coaching, coffee

Posted Jul 11, 2018
Heather O’Reilly lives close enough to the Carolina Coffee Shop in Chapel Hill that she can drive her Carolina blue golf cart there. It’s a way to avoid Franklin Street parking when visiting the iconic bar and eatery that she, her husband, and several friends bought last year. O’Reilly frequented the coffee shop, which first opened in 1922, when she played soccer for UNC. (WRAL Sports Fan)
