Thursday, November 21, 2013

The Charlotte 49ers men’s soccer team led Conference USA in home attendance during the regular season, and nationally, the 49ers ranked 12th for accumulated attendance and 14th in average attendance.

Charlotte’s largest crowd this season was against Wake Forest on Oct. 1 with 2,872 in attendance.  In Conference USA play, Charlotte’s largest crowd was against South Carolina on Sept. 27 with 2,516.  The match against Wake Forest tied for third on the all-time attendance list while South Carolina ranks sixth.

"We are very fortunate to represent one of the most vocal and passionate student fan base in the country. The QCA and Niner Nation turn out in large numbers and create a phenomenal soccer atmosphere. The players relish playing at home," said Coach Kevin Langan.

Charlotte is tied for second in the nation in longest win streak with eight matches, and the 49ers had the 17th toughest schedule in the nation.

After winning the Conference USA title, men’s soccer received a berth in the NCAA tournament. The 49ers will host Coastal Carolina or ETSU Sunday, Nov. 24 in a contest that starts at 7 p.m.
