I noticed that the Charlotte women’s soccer team is ranked #24 in the nation. I found it interesting because the former coach of the women’s team, Jon Lipsitz, left for Kentucky. I’m curious how the women are doing so well after losing a very respectable coach. Pretty impressive.
New coach is a solid guy and former 49er that played on the final 4 team. He had impressive small college coaching success just up the road at Catawaba College.
Players didn’t go to Kentucky. Small graduation losses after last season. New coach seems to know the game and how to teach it.
Has anybody got an idea how good my UNC womens soccer team is? Im a big Carolina fan but I aint got no idea if they ever been good or not.

A lot of credit for this year’s success belongs to Jon Lipsitz, because these are players were all recruited by him. I don’t want to take anything away from John Cullen, but this was the easiest job anybody could have taken. I spoke with Jon last Spring when Lindsey’s number was retired and he told me that this year’s freshman class was the best he had ever recruited. So we just have to hope that John Cullen can keep the success going. Everybody I’ve talked to including Jon Lipsitz believes that Coach Cullen has what it takes to keep this program headed in the right direction and consistantly achieving bigger and better things. Charlotte soccer fans have a lot to be excited about for the present and the future.

Acehole, Please find a new gimmick. This one is boring.

I was wondering if anyone would ever mention that. We have a lot of gimmick posters that are funny, mostly because they post at the right times and in moderation. This isn’t funny at all to begin with. Quit wasting your time and go outside.
BTW, about women’s soccer…they’ve usually been about this good at this point…and never get the recognition…partially attributed to slightly weaker schedules, but we’ve been playing SEC teams and other strong OOC matchups for years and just haven’t got the recognition. Glad to see they’re finally getting it. I watched this team under Lipsitz for 3 years and watching them now, it doesn’t seem like much has changed. They’re going to be good in years to come…and they might just get their 4th straight championship this year.
