From Fetzer To Finley: In The End, O'Reilly's Championship Was The Greatest Award Of All

Posted Dec 28, 2006

The ultimate moment for Heather O'Reilly came around 3 p.m. on December 3 as the 90th minute counted off the scoreboard clock at SAS Soccer Park. When the referee whistled the match to a close, TV and still cameras caught O'Reilly's celebratory reactions for posterity. All the other honors she has won before and since pale in comparison to what O'Reilly became at that moment in time. (Tar Heel Blue)
