"We are excited to end our regular season at Vanderbilt," said head coach Michelle Crews. "This is the best and strongest field of the year. With 20 teams in attendance and most of them are ranked, this will be a great way to see where we are before our postseason run begins in two weeks. We have been working very hard the last few weeks to show our fellow schools that UAB is still a contender. We will work hard to keep our momentum and chemistry going."

"It is surreal to think this time last year is when COVID changed everything for us. The Columbia 300 Music City Classic was our last event before the team departed campus for the year. We are so grateful to UAB and our administration for finding a way for us to have a season and for us to be safe while doing so."
