BIRMINGHAM – Entering the final match of the regular season sitting in third place in Conference USA, the UAB women's soccer team will look to cap another outstanding campaign on a high note when its welcomes Middle Tennessee to BBVA Compass Field for a 7 p.m. kick on Saturday evening.
UAB has already clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2003-04 and is looking for back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since the same two-year stretch.
"Saturday is another moment for us to get better and focus on the details which have helped us have success this season," head coach Erica Demers said. Middle Tennessee is a well-coached, organized team and we will need to put together a very good performance to win. Senior Night is always a nice element to announce seven great players and people in our program that have given four years to UAB. Looking forward to a great atmosphere."
UAB (9-6-1, 6-3-0 C-USA) earned back-to-back league wins last weekend, topping WKU in overtime, 2-1, on Friday evening before blanking Southern Miss, 2-0, on Sunday. Four different Blazers found the back of the net in the wins.
One of those goal scorers was Kamilah Mustafa, who leads the team with eight goals on the year. Of those eight goals, five have been game winners, which ranks first in the league and 10th nationally, while tying her for the third-most game-winning goals in a single season with Amy Brewer.
Caroline Kehrer found herself on the scoresheet last weekend as well and is now tied with Jamiera Lunsford for the second-most goals on the season with three apiece. Regan Kommor and Natalie Presedo each scored their first goals of their careers to cap off the weekend.
Goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty claimed her second Goalkeeper of the Week honor after her performances against WKU and Southern Miss, tallying 10 saves and her sixth shutout of the season to aid in the victories. Her fourth save against the Golden Eagles on Sunday was a historic one, breaking the program record for career saves.
Middle Tennessee (9-6-1, 4-4-1 C-USA) is led by Hannah Tillett, who has recorded a team-high 11 goals, seven assists and 49 shots. Peyton DePriest is second on the team with 10 goals on the season.
UAB and Middle Tennessee will meet for the seventh time when they take the field on Saturday, with the Blue Raiders leading the all-time series, 5-1. The Blazers claimed their first victory of the series last year, topping the Blue Raiders, 2-1, on Oct. 27 at BBVA Compass Field.
