Congrats Coach Lipsitz -> Got more good help coming in!

threepeat?

I’m excited for the season. I really hope I’m able to see the games this upcoming season.

Holy crap, 12 new players? That’s a huge class.

Perhaps Coach Lipsitz could tell us something about these new players, i.e. which ones look to be the most influential pick-ups?

We had a huge roster before, but now, WOW!

Talk about having depth!

How many of them are scholarship and how many are walk-ons and how many are going to redshirt.

Macky Wingo is a blue-chip five-star type stud recruit.

threepeat?

Oh man, without even taking the field. Nobody in the A10 can handle this team.

well! i’m impressed…not to mention excited!!!

As always, I would be happy to discuss the incoming class and answer any other questions about the team/program.

Clearly this has been a busy/emotional time on NNN so perhaps we should wait a few days and put all of our energies into being united in our push to get some big wins in many sports this week!

Congrats coach. May you be blessed with green grass.

I sat next to one on an airplane from NYC to CLT during the women’s soccer tournament (Jenna, I guess). She saw my Niners pullover and told me she was committed to play here. She was really excited.

Someone remember to start a thread about this in the post-victory hoopla after Wednesday…

Heather Carter is from my hometown (Albemarle - although it says Badin but that’s right outside) and have heard nothing but great things about her. Our local paper even had a write-up about her and guess what, we’re the UNCC 49ers. That’s another thread for another day, right guys? Anyway, congratulations Coach. Looking foward to the upcoming season.

AS a little league soccer coach about 9 years ago, I coached against the team that Liz Hawes played for and I also have watched her with interest when her East Burke team would play against Freedom High here in Morganton. She is a helluva player! regards, Oldniner

Good to see 3 from Raleigh joining the 49ers. My daughter swam for Leesville and is now a freshman at Charlotte. We only live a mile or so from Leesville, Go Pride, welcome to Charlotte! Great job coach!!

Bump so I’ll remember to bump this Friday night so Coach can reply to it.

Go get 'em girls!
