(Ludlow, MA) - The Charlotte Eagles played the first of a two game road trip tonight, starting with a match up with the Western Mass Pioneer. Western Mass held the league leading Eagles scoreless in the 0-0 tie.
The Charlotte Eagles had much of the possession throughout the game, but were only able to create a few quality chances on goal. Western Mass defended well, and played much of the first and most of the second half packed in their half. The Pioneers looked to create their scoring chances off the counter attack.
The tie is a sore one for Charlotte, sitting atop the USL Second Division. Charlotte's record moves to 8-1-3, for 27 points, still five points better than the Cleveland City Stars in the second spot of the standings. The Western Mass Pioneers should be pleased with a tie to finish off the series with Charlotte. Western Mass sits in the fourth position of the standings at 5-5-4, for 19 points.
Charlotte finishes off its road trip tomorrow in Bermuda, facing the Bermuda Hogges. Charlotte opened the season hosting Bermuda and fired off a 6-0 victory. Bermuda has shown definite improvement and Charlotte has to be getting weary with such a tight string of games recently.
The Charlotte Eagles return to home field action on Saturday, July 5th to host rival Wilmington. Kick off is slated for 7:00 pm at Restart field. Tickets can be purchased online at www.CharlotteEagles.com at the advance purchase discount of $2.00 per ticket when purchased prior to game night.
