Welcome the Carolina Ascent to the
Queen City!
Last night, Super League Carolina had their reveal party and announced the new women's professional soccer team brand, the Carolina Ascent! The evening was filled with incredible energy and a whole lot of fun! We got to hear from Head Coach Philip Poole and President of USL Super League at United States Soccer League (USL) Amanda Vandervort about what's in store for this team. Charlotte Independence Soccer Club is excited to have the women's professional team and to celebrate our six staff members representing the Carolina Ascent.
