The Charlotte 49ers took on the 2017 regular season conference champions, FIU, in a game where the Panthers went scoreless.
Charlotte, who was returning home from a loss against Radford, had a fast start with the first goal by junior forward Maclean Holbrook within the first four minutes.
The Niners quickly opened the second half with the second goal scored by Patrick Hogan, assisted by Teddy Chaouche, who ranks third in C-USA in assists.
“The second half was much the same, just a tiny tweak here or there. Encouraged our guys to be a little more aggressive with the press,” said Coach Kevin Langan.
