For the Love of the Game Her freshman year at UNC in 2006, the dorm Heath lived in had a soccer field right outside. "We’d always kind of end up out there at some point, whatever hour it was. At one or two in the morning, we’d go turn on the lights and play," Heath said. "That was the story of our class, my group of friends; we always wanted to play, anytime, anywhere. That was our culture." Their first visit to campus, the new soccer freshmen skipped orientation, where you pick out classes and pick up your laptops, and headed out to the field. Fetzer Field (UNC’s game field) always had a sign posted that read “CLOSED,” but the friends always snuck in anyway. They also played in the dorm hallways, "even people who didn’t play soccer wanted to play; it was so fun." They played in the parking garage, using trash cans as goals. They even snuck out onto the game field at midnight, several hours after winning the national championship. "Even though we’d just won this great thing, even though our season had ended in the best possible way, we still didn’t want it to be over," Heath remembered with a grin. CAPS/GOALS - 138/21
