The Charlotte 49ers (4-8) traveled to take on the UTSA Roadrunners on Sat. Nov. 26, only to end their 2016-2017 season with a tough loss on the road, 33-14.
Although the 49ers came up short of their bowl game hopes, the season can be considered a step in the right direction, conquering a better overall record, 4-8, then last years’ two-win team.
The emotions were evident on the field for the 49ers before and after the game, that included 27 seniors who made up the first class recruiting class who helped start the football program.
“I want to just thank them for taking a risk and coming to Charlotte to start this program,” head coach Brad Lambert said.
