Charlotte, NC – Behind four unanswered second half goals scored by four different players, the seventh-ranked Charlotte 49ers (10-1-0, C-USA 3-0-0) rallied to defeat FIU (3-7-1, C-USA: 0-4-0), 4-3, for their school-record tying ninth straight victory. Charlotte has now scored at least three goals in a game five times this season. Fifteen of Charlotte's last 16 goals have come in the second half.

“It was incredible response from this team at halftime after falling behind 3-0,” Charlotte coach Kevin Langan said. “The purposefulness, the ruthlessness and the relentlessness, we just kept going and going. We talked about it at halftime and we said that if we got one goal, we will get another, and another, and another. I am very excited for the guys, but we have to learn our lesson and we cannot put ourselves in holes like that. It will be hard to dig ourselves out of holes like that going forward, but we are an exciting team that can score a lot of goals and we have a lot of players contributing like tonight with four different goal scorers.”

FIU's Daniel Gonzalez scored the game's first goal off a Quentin Albrecht assist in the 14th minute.

FIU added another score when Donald Tomlinson scored in the 31st minute. FIU's Josue Espana gave FIU a 3-0 lead with a goal in the 33rd minute.

The 49ers got on the board after FIU committed a foul in the box giving the 49ers a penalty kick. Kyle Parker converted the penalty kick in the 52nd minute for his sixth goal of the season and the 19th goal of his career.

Then, Parker went down the left side of the field and passed to Monbo Bokar who put the ball into the lower right corner of the goal in the 58th minute. Bokar's goal was his fifth of the season.

Charlotte tied the score at three when Parker recorded his second assist of the game with a pass to Harrison Steadman who put the ball into the lower right corner of the goal in the 65th minute. Steadman's goal was his third of the season.

Charlotte's Dominic Bonilla crossed the ball from the left side of the field just outside the box. Bonilla's cross found Luke Waechter on the right side of the box. Waechter headed the ball over FIU goalkeeper Robin Spiegel into the back of the net for the game-winning goal. Waechter's goal was his first of the season and the fourth of his career.

Charlotte finished the game with a 21-13 advantage in shots. The 49ers exploded for 17 shots in the second half. Parker led the 49ers with six shots. Brandt Bronico and Zhuvonte Wilson each added three shots. Conor Agnew and Waechter each tallied two shots.

Charlotte returns to action when they face Conference USA foe Old Dominion on the road next Saturday, October 18 at 7 pm.
