CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The University of Memphis (3-5-3, 2-2-0 American) men's soccer team fell by a score of 3-1 to Charlotte (4-3-2, 2-0-1 American) Friday night at the Charlotte Soccer Field.

A goal just before the end of the first half gave Charlotte the lead, and an answer by Memphis was quickly met by two goals from set pieces by the 49ers.
