Casey Nogueira finds the right touch

Posted Dec 4, 2009
UNC's Casey Nogueira didn't need to pluck a four-leaf clover to break her slump. Instead, the senior forward for the Tar Heels' women's soccer team just stopped shooting so hard. The counter-intuitive approach worked just in time for last season's National Player of the Year to regain her scoring touch. Nogueira and the Tar Heels are back on stride and in College Station, Texas, for the semifinals of the NCAA Women's College Cup. (Raleigh News & Observer)
