It's been 24 years since Mia Hamm played her final match for the North Carolina women's soccer team, a 6-0 win over George Mason in the 1993 NCAA championship. But her ties to UNC still run deep.
In August, Hamm and former Tar Heels Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini Hoch, founders of Team First Soccer Academy, returned to the Triangle for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Live Fearless Soccer Clinic in Raleigh.
Following the clinic, Hamm spoke with GoHeels.com columnist Pat James about the event, her time playing for UNC and what the University still means to her.
