Troy native Marisa Abbott has helped propel High Point University into the NCAA Tournament.

The Panthers are taking on national power North Carolina on Friday night.

Abbott, a senior, helped High Point win the Big South Tournament by not allowing any goals in three games.

In the championship game against Winthrop, Abbott, a former player for Tamarac High ('06), stopped two penalty kicks and was then named the tournament's MVP.
