Charlotte women's lacrosse made its debut as it walked onto the field as a unified team for the first time in program history. Clare Short has been seeking players nationwide to become part of this inaugural squad for the past two years.
The time finally came for the head coach and her team's hard efforts to pay off as they commenced their fall schedule against Liberty and Furman University on home turf in Jerry Richardson Stadium. The 12-5 and 6-5 losses were only part of the story.
The players knew the significance from the moment they took the field.
