BIRMINGHAM – The UAB women's soccer team fell to Arizona State 5-1 in its home opener at BBVA Field on Sunday.

In the 1^st half, ASU (4-0-0) opened up the scoring in the 13^th minute and added another in the 28^th minute, taking a 2-0 lead into halftime.

The Sun Devils went up 3-0 on an own goal before Stella Kiss set up Laura Zemberyova to get the Blazers on the board in the 65^th minute. Kiss fed Zemberyova from midfield with a long pass, who took two steps inside the box and drilled a left-footed kick past ASU keeper Birta Gudlaugs.

Arizona State would add goals in the 67^th and 85^th minutes.
