O'Reilly to lead young group of Heels

Posted Aug 24, 2006

Two-time All-American Heather O'Reilly will split her senior season between the Tar Heels and the U.S. national team. Junior midfielder Robyn Gayle, meanwhile, is a member of the Canadian national team. O'Reilly's travels, especially, figure to put UNC in a disadvantage whenever her country calls. The New Jersey native is the 15th leading scorer in program history with 127 points. (Durham Herald-Sun)
