For Gophers soccer goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs, grief, then growth

Tarah Hobbs was a high-school All-American at White Bear Lake High School and the Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year as a freshman at the University of Minnesota.

But one trophy stands out a little more to the all-world keeper, even amidst her numerous accolades -- one she won in a youth tournament while playing under her former coach and late father, Roy.

Roy Hobbs was killed by a drunken driver in December 2007, and although Tarah still grieves, she hasn't stopped winning trophies.

And she's in line for a few more this season.
