Caitlin Van Sickle's college choice is clear

Posted Dec 26, 2007

One look around Caitlin Van Sickle's bedroom makes it clear where her loyalties lie. The pillows on her bed -- Carolina blue. The walls are white, with two closet doors painted Carolina blue. Tar Heels items are stationed throughout the space. "You can definitely tell," she said. It's fitting that Van Sickle, a senior at Tower Hill School, will head next fall to the University of North Carolina and its powerhouse field hockey program. (Delaware News Journal)
