Jessica Breland found the strength to persevere through six months of cancer treatment. She missed a season with the Tar Heels and returned as a redshirt senior. On draft day last month, the Liberty acquired Breland, a 6-foot-3 forward, from Minnesota, which selected her in the second round with the 13th overall pick.
