Q&A: Anson Dorrance
Posted Jul 17, 2011
Anson Dorrance's Tar Heels teams have provided the national squad with 49 players over the years. Many of those players - names like Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly and Carla Overbeck - are among the game's greatest stars. This year's U.S. team will play Japan in the World Cup final at 2 p.m. today in Frankfurt, Germany, and features two former UNC players - midfielders Heather O'Reilly and Tobin Heath.
