Memorable Moments: Five-Game Win Streak Clinches Bowl Eligibility

As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Division I Sports, let's take a short trip down memory lane to a remarkable five-game win streak that carried the 49ers football program to bowl eligibility and its first-ever bowl game.

Charlotte won the last five games of the 2019 regular season, three of which with second-half comebacks and game-winning fourth-quarter TDs to overcome a 2-5 start and complete the year with school records for wins (7), league wins (5) and win streak. Along with a trip to the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl.
