QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH BETSY FREEBURG
"We are looking forward to being at home this weekend against UTSA to wrap up the CUSA regular season. These matches provide a great opportunity to demonstrate how much we have grown since our last match during our bye week and we are ready to compete. UTSA does a good job of extending rallies and disciplined transition defense is going to be a key to our success. We also get to honor our lone senior, Abby Carlile, and we can't wait to see our UAB community in Bartow Arena for one last time in this 2021 spring season."
