Charlotte 49ers Schedule First Football Series
Niners To Face Morehead State in Home and Home Series in 2013; 2014
Charlotte, N.C. --The Charlotte 49ers, who received final approval earlier this month to move forward with adding a football program, have announced their first scheduled football series.
The 49ers football program, which will begin play in 2013, has scheduled a home-and-home series with Morehead State. The 49ers will play at Morehead State, Nov. 23, 2013 and the Eagles will visit Charlotte, Nov. 22, 2014.
"The formal announcement that we are starting football in 2013 with no uncertainty was very exciting," said 49ers Director of Athletics Judy Rose. "We quickly moved forward to begin scheduling and we are off and running. We are pleased to announce that we have scheduled the Charlotte 49ers first home and home series against Morehead State. There are many more games to schedule, including our inaugural game, but it’s exciting to report that we have our first contract in hand."
