UNC student athlete Loren Shealy in a class of her own

Posted Sep 22, 2012
Sophomore field hockey player Loren Shealy is good. Team Rookie of the Year good. Seeing significant playing time in all 25 games on a national runner-up team good. But Shealy has never had an athletic scholarship. Now she doesn’t need one. While Shealy strives to improve on the field and meet expectations set by the coaching staff, she is busy breaking new ground in her academics. (Daily Tar Heel)
