Brianna Pinto: Living the dream Posted Jan 26, 2021 Brianna Pinto’s relationship with UNC began long ago. Pinto’s mom played softball and her coach is still on campus. Her father played soccer for Carolina and has had a huge role in her journey. So, attending UNC for college was always Pinto’s first choice. "I felt I’d get the best of both worlds – athletics and academics. Right now, I’m living the dream." (UNC.edu)
