UAB Men’s Soccer Defeats Montevallo 5-1 in Exhibition Action
2/6/2021 11:10:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BIRMINGHAM –The UAB men's soccer team scored three goals in the first 20 minutes of action which propelled the Blazers to a 5-1 exhibition victory over Montevallo on Saturday night at BBVA Field.
"I thought our energy and pressure was good for the majority of the match," said head coach Jeff Kinney. "We definitely could have been cleaner on the ball, but it was a good result. Hopefully, we build momentum going into the regular season."
Tyrell Price opened the scoring for UAB with one of his two goals in the seventh minute. Price would also find the back of the net in the 72nd minute. Mayno Linares, Krenar Krasniqi and Heath Flathau tallied a goal each. Goalkeeper Seth Torman recorded three saves on the night.
Montevallo would get on the board in the 30th minute with a goal by Fabio Menzel.
The Blazers conclude their exhibition slate at 1-0-1 and will begin regular season play on Feb. 16 against Central Arkansas at home.
