The 49ers exstinguish the Flames

The Charlotte 49ers (10-5-1) “doused” the UIC Flames (10-3-1) Saturday, Oct. 27.

Before a ball was kicked, four seniors were honored before the match. Defender Callum Montgomery, forward Dean Rutherford, midfielder Tommy Madden, and forward Daniel Bruce were all honored.

“UNC Charlotte’s amazing, even being from England it’s felt so at home here; the fans are just amazing,” said Bruce.

The 49ers started the first-half aggressive; Charlotte outshot UIC 6-5. Both teams were chippy defensively, but Charlotte managed to score two goals in the first period.

The first goal was scored in the 29th minute by defender Luke Johnson, and was assisted by midfielder John Ranshaw.
