Posted Sep 20, 2012
Adelaide Gay has allowed just seven goals in more than 1,300 minutes on the field since relocating to Chapel Hill, proving that she is not only good enough to play for the Tar Heels, but that she has made them better. For a program that has filled World Cup rosters with its legends, the indefatigable senior walk-on transfer is both an unlikely success story and proof that the players make the program. (ESPN.com)
