TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - When Florida State and North Carolina square-off at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 22 at the Seminole Soccer Complex, the two teams will be playing for much more than a berth in the upcoming ACC Tournament. The Seminoles and Tar Heels will be playing in memory of a dear friend, the late Charlotte Moran.
Moran played an integral role in the women’s game in the United States for over 20 years. She touched the lives of so many young women not only through her love of the game, but through her love and passion for life. Moran served as the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program Girls Region I Administrator and was the Executive Director and 12-year employee of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association.
