Mural in downtown Raleigh recognizes four soccer players, one a local star

A mural in downtown Raleigh is now complete and pays special honor to four professional women's soccer players. One of them is a local star.

The mural is outside the Morgan Street Food Hall. You can't miss the massive 18x20 mural on the side of the downtown Raleigh location. One of those soccer players in the mural is Abby Erceg, a defender for the North Carolina Courage.

"The reaction has been great, we've had some attention from the players," White said.

"It's been great," White said. "This is a high traffic area. I get nothing but compliments, and sometimes enthusiastic ones. I've seen people come by and take pictures."

On Facebook, the Morgan Street Food Hall posted a photo this week of the North Carolina Courage snapping a photo in front of mural. They encourage others to do the same.

Taylor said it took her a week to complete, three gallons of paint and and lots to complete.
