They would have to wait until the second half to get their win as veteran Patrick McSorley gets the only goal of the game in the 82nd minute of action.
[SUPER=34-Charlotte/0/Roanoke/1;]
The Wrath beats Charlotte 1-to-0, but it still may not be enough to get them in the postseason.
They play at Wilmington tonight.
