The Charlotte 49ers women’s soccer team stayed perfect at home in their Conference USA opener with a 2-1 victory over the Old Dominion Monarchs Sunday afternoon, getting a goal from their star Martha Thomas and rising-star Megan Greene.
“We’re delighted to get the first conference win of the season,” said coach John Cullen. “I thought today we had a good game plan and worked hard leading into the game. The girls executed the game play and we stifled them, not allowing many shots on goal. We’re thoroughly delighted to come out with the win.”
Throughout the afternoon, the 49ers (5-4, 1-0 C-USA) controlled the pace of the match with their stellar frontline, compiling 19 shots, while allowing 10 shots on goal.
