Charlotte defeated Appalachian State 3-2 in overtime to claim their first home win of the season.
“We were very determined, especially coming off of the loss from Wake Forest. We wanted to get a home win,” said senior Julia Grainda.
The 49ers started the game strong as Jamie Fankhauser scored off of a pinpoint pass through the teeth of the Mountaineers’ defense, from Brianna Morris.
“We’re always a first-half team; we always get our goals quick,” said Grainda.
The 49ers continued to find ways through the Mountaineers’ defense, but untimely errant passes just out of reach, missed shots or offsides violations prematurely ended the 49er drives.
