UNC Women’s Soccer: Claudia Dickey, loneliness, and the NCAA championship

I’ve never been to Norway. I know that’s an odd way to start an article ostensibly about collegiate soccer, but bear with me. I’ve never been to Norway, which means I’ve never visited Trolltunga, a landmark that has long fascinated me. This spit of land, soaring above sea level and coming to a point amidst an enormous quantity of nothing, is famous among thrill-seekers and landscape photographers alike. Whenever I find myself reminded of its existence, if I stumble across a photo of it online or am just reminded by some other far-off and high place, I often wonder how it would be to stand at what has to feel like the edge of the world.
