CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The defending Conference USA Tournament champion and NCAA Tournament participant Charlotte women's soccer program starts its preseason training sessions Thursday in preparations for the 2017 campaign. The 49ers return six starters and 16 letterwinners from a year ago, as they embark on the ninth season under head coach John Cullen.
"We're excited to get going again," Cullen said. "I can't believe how quickly a season comes around so soon. I felt like I was just lifting a trophy, not too long ago, but now we have start all over again and prove we're good enough to lift another one.
