Posted Dec 2, 2006

Heather O'Reilly plopped down beside Casey Nogueira in the press tent at SAS Soccer Park and exhaled loudly.

After nearly 2 hours of nip-and-tuck soccer, the freshman from Raleigh scored on a dramatic long-range kick in the 84th minute to snap a scoreless tie as the Tar Heels defeated UCLA 2-0 in the semifinals of the College Cup on Friday.
