Charlotte steals victory in Steel City - Behind solid bench effort, the Niners defeat Pittsburgh

Lefty Webster dropped 20 points and nine rebounds, senior Ciara Gregory added 17 in her homecoming game, and the Charlotte 49ers used a high scoring second half to deal the Pittsburgh Panthers their second straight home loss, 70-63. The Panthers (6-2), who have played all their games at home so far this season, held Charlotte (5-3) to only nine second quarter points, but gave up a seven-point halftime lead and couldn’t contain the Niners in the second half.

The 49ers once again used balanced scoring to their advantage. Leading scorer Grace Hunter struggled from the field, but other players stepped up to lead Charlotte offensively.
