Niners surge into second-place tie with third-straight shutout

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte women's soccer climbed into a second-place tie in the Conference USA standings after posting its third-straight clean sheet, blanking Southern Miss 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Transamerica Field.

"All wins are big but this was a huge win for us," head coach John Cullen said. "We knew Southern Miss would be a good, gritty team and defensively sound behind the ball. We knew they needed points but both teams needed points for different reasons. Big win and a great way to finish off the weekend."

The 49ers, who have not conceded a goal in the last 353:59, came out of the second half scoreless deadlock with a more aggressive offensive attack.
