2016 women’s soccer schedule announced

The Charlotte 49ers women’s soccer schedule includes eight home regular-season matches at Transamerica Field in addition to the squad playing host to the Conference USA Championships in November.

“It’s a very unique non-conference schedule in that we’re playing a lot of the ‘Carolina’ schools – East Carolina, Western Carolina, North Carolina and South Carolina. We also have a good weekend down in Georgia against Georgia State and Georgia Southern, along with a couple opponents we lost heartbreakers to last fall in Mercer and Elon at home,” said head women’s soccer coach John Cullen. “It’s a pretty strong schedule, particularly when you put North Carolina and South Carolina in there. We have high level competition throughout the non-conference schedule.”

Charlotte will begin the campaign at home Aug. 19 against Western Carolina. It marks the fourth meeting between the two in-state foes, who have not played since 2013, and the Niners increased their series advantage to unbeaten in three tries.
