I am a proud UNC alumnus. I played for the UNC women's soccer team from 1984 to 1987, and the experience was life-changing.

I was a self-conscious and shy walk-on player and moved up to team co-captain my senior year. Anson Dorrance is a tremendous teacher, motivator and friend. He taught me so many lessons that helped me develop feelings of strength and self-confidence.

The walk-on to starter story is actually quite common in the UNC soccer program. Anson has a wondrous ability to help us find the best in ourselves as players and people. The lessons he taught us transcend the soccer field. They are life lessons. He taught me the importance of a positive outlook and attitude. He taught me how to set goals and work hard to reach them. He encouraged us to care about our teammates and to play for each other. He taught me how to be competitive in a positive way.

I am so happy to see that the lawsuit that has hovered over Anson, the rest of the coaches, the players past and present and this program is finally resolved.
