Posted May 17, 2023
The UNC women’s soccer program has produced some of the best players in America, so why not form a team made mostly of former Tar Heel players? That will happen June 1-4 in Cary for a 32-team, seven-on-seven $1 million winner-take-all event called The Soccer Tournament. Mia Hamm and Carla Overbeck will coach the team called "U.S. Women."
