Casey Nogueira's passion for soccer speaks volumes

Posted Nov 21, 2008
Back in high school, Casey Nogueira wanted so badly to become part of UNC's winning women's soccer program that her mother moved her and her brother from Cedarburg, Wis., to Raleigh so she could play closer to the Tar Heels. "We just wanted to go where the best soccer was," said Nogueira, who asked around and chose Broughton on the advice of a club coach. (Raleigh News & Observer)
