They met at a North Carolina women's lacrosse camp, where Jamie Ortega played on a team with Marie McCool. They stayed in touch over the years. And when Ortega, recognized as the top incoming freshman attacker in the nation, joined the Tar Heels last fall, she began an apprenticeship under McCool that has extended through the first two weeks of the 2018 season.
