An uncommon bond formed during UNC women's lacrosse title run

Posted Jun 5, 2016
On the outside of Sammy Jo Tracy’s left wrist are two small initials — DT. It not only symbolizes the bond with her father, but the bond she has with the three most important men in her life — her grandfather, father and brother — three generations of Dan Tracy. In moments where she needs strength or she celebrates a big play, Sammy Jo kisses her wrist. (NSJ Sports)
