Nogueira's passion for soccer speaks volumes

Back in high school, Casey Nogueira wanted so badly to become part of UNC's winning women's soccer program that her mother moved her and her brother from Cedarburg, Wis., to Raleigh so she could play closer to the Tar Heels.
"We just wanted to go where the best soccer was," said Nogueira, who asked around and chose Broughton on the advice of a club coach.
Nogueira will play for North Carolina against the University of Illinois in the third round of the NCAA women's soccer tournament at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Fetzer Field.
