Men's soccer ties UNCG 2-2

The Charlotte men’s soccer team tied UNC Greensboro 2-2 on Sept. 26.  Andres Cuero and Charles Rodriguez scored for Charlotte.

The rain caused poor conditions for the game early on and eventually caused the game to end early after the 75th minute.  According to official rules, a game is considered official after the 70th minute.

Shots were made throughout the game by Adam Gross, Evan James and Jason Hawes.  The game tying goal was shot by Rodriguez in the 74th minute, just before the game was called due to the weather.

The 49ers had a 16-10 shot advantage against UNC Greensboro. 

“This was two very good teams battling during very tough playing conditions,” Charlotte coach Jeremy Gunn said. “For the entire second half, the field had standing water. We gave up an early goal and then we battled back and tied the game in the first half. We continued to play strong in the second half.

UNC Greensboro scored a go ahead goal. We came right back and tied the score. Then, a minute later we were ready to take a corner kick and the referee called the game due to unplayable field. I thought that both teams played good soccer in impossible conditions.”

The 49ers will be in action tonight on the road against ACC power Wake Forest and will travel to Furman to take on the Paladins on Saturday. Charlotte won’t return home until they face George Washington in the conference opener on Friday, October 9.
