Dorrance's University of North Carolina women's soccer team has won 18 of the 25 national championships in collegiate history. (Mia Hamm is its most notable alum.) Crothers spent four all-access years with Dorrance and his players for this rich biography and tells the tale of an imperfect man who has shaped a near perfect program.
