CHARLOTTE, NC -- The Charlotte Eagles will host a doubleheader on Friday. The Lady Eagles will kick off the evening at 5:30 against the Carolina dynamo. The Eagles will f0llow the women at 8 o'clock as they host the defending league chamion Harrisburg City Islanders.

Charlotte enters the game 1-0 while the Dynamo are 0-1 after a loss to the Carolina Railhawks last week.The Lady Eagles started off the season on a strong note as they traveled to West Virginia and won 3-0. Laura Novikoff began her Lady Eagles career on a good foot scoring a goal in her first game for the team.

Veterans Tina Murphy and Kelly Schmedes continued their impressive form for the Lady Eagles as they joined Novikoff on the scoring sheet. The women will look to carry the momentum and gain their second win of the season.

While the Eagles have started very strong Harrisburg has stumbled out of the blocks at 0-1-3, an interesting start for last years champs.

Dustin Swinehart will try to continue his impressive form on the season as he has scored 7 of the teams 13 goals in the opening four games of the season.
