NCAA Women's Soccer Champions

Go Tar Heels!

Here are some stats, for those of you who aren't aware:

UNC had a perfect season this year - 27-0-0
They allowed no goals in the six games of this year's tournament.

This was the Tar Heels' 18th National Championship - the program has been in existence for only 25 years!

I'm so proud... :-)

On another sports note - thank goodness it's basketball season! And the Tar Heels are back!

Penny, the Tar Heel sports fan

From the UNC Web site:

What is a Tar Heel?
The University not only uses the nickname "Tar Heels," but the entire state does as well. One version of the nickname's origin has the name first being applied to North Carolinians during the Civil War. One record talks of a battle in Virginia, where their supporting column retreated, but North Carolina troops fought alone. The victorious troops were asked in a condescending tone by some Virginians, who had retreated, "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" The response came quickly: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The Virginians asked: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The reply: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

That help?

P :-)
