Seniors hope to lead Tar Heels to first field hockey title in a decade

Posted Nov 9, 2007

Rachel Dawson admits that while she isn't ready to end her college career (she'll graduate from UNC's School of Business in December), she's determined her squad will finish on top. "I believe winning is a habit, something you build up to all season. You don't play not to lose; you play to win. If I keep focused on the fact that out of every game, someone has to win and someone has to lose, I put myself in the best position to be that winner." (ESPN.com)
