Charlotte 49ers Set to Face VCU Rams at Stuart C. Siegel Center in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Charlotte 49ers prepare to take on the VCU Rams at the Stuart C. Siegel Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The 49ers, coming off a solid victory against Mercer Bears with a score of 65-58 on November 29th, are looking to continue their winning streak.
The Charlotte team demonstrated remarkable resilience and offensive prowess in their last game at Dale F. Halton Arena. They outscored the Bears in points off turnovers (18), fast break points (16), and points in the paint (36). Their shooting was consistent from inside the arc, hitting nearly 47 percent of two-point attempts and securing a commendable field goal percentage of approximately 43 percent overall.
However, it wasn't just offense where CHAR shone; their defensive efforts were equally impressive. With eight steals matching that of Mercer and fewer personal fouls (15 compared to Mercer's 21), they showed discipline and tenacity on both ends of the court.
Looking back further into their season, CHAR faced George Washington Revolutionaries on November 25th and emerged victorious with a scoreline reflecting a more defensive battle at 50-38. Despite lower shooting percentages across the board than seen against Mercer, they managed to maintain control throughout all quarters.
One area for improvement for CHAR is beyond the arc; their three-point shooting has been less than stellar recently—only making one out of seven attempts against Mercer—and could be crucial against VCU Rams' defense.
The upcoming match-up will not be without its challenges as VCU boasts home-court advantage at Richmond’s famed Stuart C. Siegel Center—a venue known for its intense atmosphere that can rattle even seasoned players.
Fans should mark their calendars for December 2nd when these two teams clash at noon local time in what is expected to be a thrilling encounter between two competitive sides eager to assert dominance early in the season. For those unable to attend in person, details regarding broadcast options will likely surface closer to game day—stay tuned through official team channels for updates on how you can catch every moment live from wherever you may be cheering on your beloved Charlotte 49ers!
