‘That’s what my brother would want me to do’: UNC soccer's Abby Elinsky returns to the Tar Heels
Posted Oct 28, 2016
Abby Elinsky had to come back. It is what her brother would have wanted. On Oct. 2, Elinsky’s older brother, Nick, died from injuries sustained in a one-car accident in Orlando, Florida. Ten days later, the entire UNC women’s soccer team came to Rocky River, Ohio to be with Elinsky at his funeral. “I had a lot of support from my team and my coaches."
