News from the Charlotte Soccer Community
- CPSL Nights at UNCC
On Saturday, Oct. 25,
UNCC Soccer will be hosting
a second CPSL game before a Saturday evening home game. Eire FC will take on Charlotte United at 4pm
followed by the 49ers' 7PM match against St. Louis. The CPSL match will be
played on the upper stadium field. Admission to the UNCC
match for all CPSL players and their families will be $2! Our
roster will be at the gate so your name can checked upon entering. UNCC has also extended this offer to any team that is
coached by our players and any team on which a CPSL player has a child.
You'll need to provide me a roster for each team at least 10 days in
advance.
49ers Men's Head Coach, Jeremy Gunn, has done a tremendous job of
restoring the program's glory in the short time he's been at the helm.
In 2007, he guided the men to their first ever Atlantic 10 Tournament
Final. This season, the team has gotten off to a hot start by
beating Davidson College 5-1 and the College of Charleston 5-3.
This season, the 49ers have been voted into the NSCAA Top 25 for the first time
in 10 years.
Match Reports
Week #4 Tigers Claim First Win of the Season, 4-3 vs. Copperheads
CPCC took a 4-0 lead, then withstood a furious 3-goal rally by the
Copperheads to take its first win of the season. More details posted
here soon.
Week #3 CPCC Rally Falls Short, Lose to Silver Backs FC 6-3
CPCC finally found a way to score this fall, notching two straight goals to
pull even with league newcomer Silverbacks FC. Solomon Togbah got the first
goal of the season, and Hector Mera headed home a perfectly placed corner
kick to give the Tigers their first goals of the season. For several
minutes, it looked as if CPCC would keep the momentum, but the sharp passing
Silverbacks settle down and once again started placing balls into spaces
left available by CPCC's back four. SBFC would score four more goals before
the Tigers would net their third for the 6-3 final.
Week #2 Sporting Charlotte Edges CPCC 1-0
Defending CPSL champion Sporting Charlotte, coming off their first loss in
three seasons, scored a goal midway through the first half, then hung on
through the remainder of the match, turning back numerous Tiger attacks.
CPCC made marked improvement in their second outing in all phases of the
game. Though the Tigers dropped to 0-2 in the league, all signs point
to many successful weeks ahead.
Week #1 Tigers Struggle vs. Wings SC, Absorb 7-0 Loss
CPCC's opener in the CPSL provided a fresh reminder to all players, both
veterans and newcomers, as the amount of work that needs to be done before
the club can be considered competitive in the league. After
surrendering four goals in the first half, the Tigers went out and allowed
another three in the second.
