Captain Kirk: Urso a mainstay for the Tar Heels

Posted Dec 8, 2011
This weekend, Kirk Urso is going to his fourth consecutive College Cup. As captain of the North Carolina soccer team, he knows what it's like to play on this stage. He doesn't yet know what it's like to win on it. But that's the goal, and Urso and the top-seeded Tar Heels (20-2-2) are two wins away. In the first of what could be several reunions for Urso, the Tar Heels take on UCLA in the semifinals on Friday night. (Tar Heel Blue)
