The Charlotte 49ers women’s basketball team hit a new stride last season, finding their highest Conference USA finish since rejoining the conference for the 2013-14 season. That 2017-18 group of Niners reached double-digit wins within their conference, accumulating the longest sheet in program history.
During the preseason last year, the program challenged itself with a tough non-conference schedule to go into conference play with a 4-10 record; 5-10 if the exhibition game against Coker to begin the season is considered. The Niners started off conference play with a telling win over Southern Miss and went on to finish with a tie for third in the regular season for Conference USA with a record of 10-6.
