Trio powers Heels

Posted Jun 12, 2008

Sophomores have been known to slump. Sometimes, they have struggled to find their place on the field.

Simply put, without the clout of that trio, UNC's team might be headed to the beach this week instead of to a third straight College World Series in Omaha. (Raleigh News & Observer)
