Charlotte gets burned by Blazers
The 49ers (8-6, 4-3 C-USA) took on the UAB Blazers (7-5-1, 4-2 C-USA) in an inter-conference match Friday, Oct. 12. The Blazers were the victor, defeating the 49ers 0-1.
Before the match, seniors Amelia Clower and Abby Coffey were recognized for their collegiate careers as 49ers. The crowd stood and applauded the senior defender and goalkeeper as they stood and waved at midfield.
The first half of the match was a defensive battle that tested starting goalkeeper Abby Stapleton’s fortitude. She ended the half with five saves and was the shield of the team.
