Labor Day weekend wrapup

Back from a long Labor Day weekend:

-- The complete men's basketball schedule might be released as early as this afternoon.

-- Charlotte's T.J. Beaulieu, who had a goal and an assist in the 49ers' two games last week, is the Atlantic 10's men's soccer player of the week. Beaulieu, a junior forward, scored Charlotte's only goal in a 1-0 victory Saturday against Elon and assisted in the 49ers' 2-1 season-opening loss against UNC Greensboro.

Charlotte's next games are this weekend in Birmingham, Ala., against Memphis and Alabama-Birmingham.

-- It was a great weekend for the volleyball and women's cross country teams. The volleyball team won the Patriot Invitational at Fairfax, Va., beating George Mason, West Virginia and Army. Charlotte, which is at Duke tonight, hosts its own tournament Friday and Saturday.

The women's cross country team won the USC Upstate Eyeopener at Spartanburg, with 42 points. Senior Keara Thomas finished second individually with a 5K time of 18:05. Laura McCary, Janet Barry and Aurora Trujillo all finished in the top 10.

-- The men's cross country team finished 4th in the same meet, with Daweet Dagnachew finishing 14th.

Both teams are back in action Sept. 17 at the Clemson Invitational.

-- The women's soccer team split weekend home games against the Pac 10's Arizona State (losing 1-0) and the Big East's Pittsburgh (a 2-1 victory). Charlotte takes a 3-1 record into games this week at UNC Greensboro on Friday and home against UNC Wilmington on Sunday.
