Corner Kicks Rally 49ers to Win; First-Place Standing

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Five consecutive goals, four of which came on corner kicks, led the Charlotte women's soccer team to a come-from-behind 5-2 victory over Middle Tennessee Sunday afternoon for the 49ers' fifth-straight win. The triumph vaulted the Niners into first place by themselves in the conference standings through weekend action.

FROM THE COACH
"We stayed in the fight," head coach John Cullen. "We weren't particularly strong at the start of the game. I thought the game started fairly evenly but they punished a couple of our mistakes. But I felt there was enough time left on the clock to have a reaction and get back into the game.
