HOUSTON – Charlotte women's soccer will return to Holloway Field one last time this week during the Conference USA Championships with the 49ers earning a berth in Saturday's final against No. 25-ranked and host Rice. The tournament championship match will kickoff at 1 p.m. live on ESPN+ with an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
HOW WE GOT HERE
Charlotte's run to the final began Tuesday, as the East Division No. 3-seeded Niners squared off against West Division No. 2-seed North Texas in the quarterfinals. In the matchup of the last-four league tournament winners, including the last three by the Mean Green, the 49ers were not intimidated by the perennial conference power.
