The Carnegie Mellon University women's soccer team traveled from Pittsburgh to Atlanta to Greensboro to play in the NCAA Division III National Championship. It was a homecoming for two Tartans.
Taylor Cammarata and Emery Noll are North Carolina natives who had the opportunity to play the most important game of their careers in front of friends and family in the crowd.
"When I saw Greensboro was the host location for the final four, I made it a goal to make it here," said Cammarata, a junior midfielder studying statistics and machine learning.
She was cheered on during the matchup against Messiah College by her mother, father, brother and cousin. As one of the local families, Cammarata's parents hosted the post-game tailgate for team.
