Youthful reigning champs eyeing repeat

Posted Aug 20, 2007

Take a look at the roster for the 2007 North Carolina women's soccer team, and you'll notice something unusual for a top-ranked program. Between each player's name and position is her class distinction, and for the Tar Heels, a group of 20 freshmen and sophomores dominate the list. Large recruiting classes the past two years have resulted in a UNC team whose makeup is two-thirds underclassmen. (Daily Tar Heel)
