A Duke to UNC transfer. A stroke. A stirring comeback. This is Olivia Migli’s soccer story


When North Carolina soccer defender Olivia Migli stepped off the field for the final time — 30 minutes into the Tar Heels’ ACC regular-season game against Virginia on Sept. 27 — there was no big announcement, no tear-filled farewell. It wasn’t dramatic. She simply knew. Migli’s body had spoken, and this time, it wasn’t a signal she could ignore. (Yahoo! Sports)
