Charlotte 49ers Dominate at Dale F. Halton Arena Against Coppin State Eagles
In a display of offensive efficiency, the Charlotte 49ers secured a commanding victory over the Coppin State Eagles with a final score of 82-59. The home team's record now stands at an impressive tally, while the visiting Eagles have yet to find their rhythm this season.
The Charlotte 49ers showcased their scoring capabilities early on, ending the first half with a substantial lead. Their offensive execution was highlighted by an impressive field goal percentage of 50 and an even more remarkable two-point shooting percentage of 67. The three-point line also proved to be friendly territory for the Charlotte team as they netted ten shots from beyond the arc at a rate of 35 percent.
Defensively, the Charlotte squad was just as formidable, amassing nine steals and three blocks throughout the game. This defensive hustle translated into points off turnovers, with both teams scoring eleven in this category. The rebounding battle was decisively won by the home team as well; they outrebounded their opponents by ten boards overall.
The Eagles struggled to keep pace despite putting up respectable numbers in several categories. They shot nearly 41 percent from the field and were successful on about 71 percent of their free throws but were hindered by a low three-point shooting percentage of just under 14 percent.
Notably contributing to this disparity was Charlotte's ability to capitalize on second-chance opportunities where they scored fourteen points compared to Coppin State's three points in that area. Additionally, while both teams had similar assist-to-turnover ratios, it was clear that Charlotte's higher assist count paired with fewer turnovers gave them better control over game flow.
Looking ahead for fans of the Charlotte team is another chance to support their players when they host Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks at Dale F. Halton Arena on November 15th at what will be an evening event for local attendees. This matchup can be followed live through ESPN+, ensuring fans won't miss any action from their favorite team.
