Fourth seed Charlotte (7-4-6) is making their way through the Conference USA tournament. The Niners beat fifth seed New Mexico (8-6-4) in the quarterfinals by way of a penalty kick from Callum Montgomery.
The lone goal was scored off of a penalty kick taken by Montgomery, but it was quite a play that would result in the opportunity.
Daniel Bruce would run the ball down the left side of the box and serve a rather nice cross over to the right side of the box where Fernando Garcia was making a run in to the meet to the pass for yet another attempt at the first goal of the game when a New Mexico defender would foul Garcia in the box to give Charlotte a penalty kick.
