Charlotte Eagles News Release
CHARLOTTE, NC: The Charlotte Eagles look to make up for their past performance against the Harrisburg City Islanders, Friday night at Charlotte Christian Stadium at 8:00 PM. Friday night's game is sponsored by Carolinas Medical Center
Just two weeks ago the Eagles traveled up to Skyline Sports Complex hitting a brick wall. The Eagles in the midst of a seven game undefeated streak was stopped dead in their tracks by Harrisburg, losing the game 4-0.
The Eagles were able to rebound against FC New York, and had a good showing against Richmond splitting a game a piece last weekend.
"The Eagles plan to perform much better in the rematch this Friday night," remarked Coach Mark Steffens. "The team is just above .500, each game moving forward affects our playoff position. We are in a position where we need to win. The team continues to exude confidence in their ability to reach the playoffs, while understanding the road ahead will not be easy."
Harrisburg currently controls second position in the USL PRO National Division and has been undefeated in USL PRO play since June 11. Harrisburg has scored eight times in their last three games. Jose Angulo and Andrew Welker lead the team with 11 goals between them for the season. The Eagles defense will need to be in top form if they plan on coming away with three point Friday night.
The Charlotte Eagles are proud to partner with Carolinas Medical Center. The last doubleheader of the regular season will take place this Friday night. Carolinas Medical Center will make it a great night with lots of giveaways, special promotions and Game Day Activities.
