The Charlotte 49ers women's basketball team has released their non-conference schedule for the 2010-11 season. Charlotte will begin play in the preseason WNIT, which features 13 postseason teams from a year ago.
Karen Aston's 49ers made their eighth consecutive postseason appearance last year when they made it to the second round of the WNIT. Not including the preseason WNIT, the Niners will face off with six different teams that played postseason basketball last season.
The preseason WNIT field consists of 2010 postseason tournament participants Austin Peay, Charlotte, DePaul, Florida, Hampton, Iona, James Madison, Lamar, Missouri State, Purdue, Toledo, South Dakota State and St. Francis (Pa.). Charlotte is guaranteed to play at least three games in the WNIT.
The Niners will play seven non-conference games in Halton Arena this season, where they are an impressive 103-22 over the last nine seasons.
Charlotte hosts Iona in the first round of the preseason WNIT and will also play host to non-conference foes Duke, Virginia Tech, East Carolina and VCU. Charlotte's road non-conference schedule features tilts with NC A&T, Arkansas State and a Christmas tournament in New Orleans hosted by Tulane. The Niners will face Tulane, an NCAA Tournament team from last year as well as Old Dominion.
