49ers release first football series

The Charlotte 49ers, who received the final aproval for a football program earlier this month, have scheduled their first football series, beginning in 2013.

The Niners have scheduled a home-and-home series with the Morehead State Eagles of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Eagles' football team plays in the Pioneer League, their basketball teams play in the Ohio Valley Conference. Charlotte will visit the Eagles on Nov. 23, 2013 and then will play host on Nov. 22, 2014 in their on-campus stadium.

“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.”
