Hassan Pinto draws stares as he walks down the walkway that separates Hooker Fields and Carmichael Arena. Hassan, a standout for the UNC men’s soccer team in the early 90s, is wearing a Duke T-shirt and a gray Blue Devils cap. His daughter, Brianna Pinto, a sophomore for the Tar Heels’ women’s soccer team, waits for him at the edge of the soccer fields.
