Reliving UNC women's soccer's 1990 title run

Posted Oct 16, 2020
2020 will mark 30 years since UNC's 1990 women’s soccer team hoisted the NCAA cup. 30 years since Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly, two of the greatest to ever play the game, sported the North Carolina crest on their jerseys. And 30 years since their storybook championship run cemented this team as one of the great dynasties in college athletics history. (Daily Tar Heel)
