CHARLOTTE — A sisterhood years in the making wanted a quality first impression.
Charlotte Women's Lacrosse notched a 20-2 win over Gardner-Webb in its debut on Saturday. Consider it mission accomplished for many who packed Jerry Richardson Stadium for their first glimpse of the program.
It was the most goals scored in a program's debut in American Athletic Conference history.
Sleep was hard to find leading up to the game, just ask Coach Clare Short. The years she put into building the 49ers from scratch made the sleepless nights worthwhile, and her tears during the team's opening introductions were hardly the first of the day.
