CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte head women's basketball coach Cara Consuegra has compiled a schedule featuring eight postseason teams, seven Top 75 RPI squads and 10 opponents who registered a winning record last year, including six with at least 20 victories, as she has announced her program's 2016-17 slate Wednesday. The slate features non-conference foes from six of the top-eight rated leagues nationally.
The 49ers, who have always faced a daunting non-conference schedule, enter this winter no differently. Charlotte returns three starters and seven letterwinners, including All-Conference USA Second Team pick Lefty Webster and All-Conference USA Freshman Team honorees Grace Hunter and Laia Raventós, from last year's squad which ranked among the Top 25 nationally, and best in Conference USA in both categories, for points per game and field goal percentage.
