BIRMINGHAM - UAB will host South Florida on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at PNC Field. The Blazers are looking to pick up their first AAC win in program history.
SERIES HISTORY
USF leads the all-time series 11-5-0. The Bulls have won three of the five meetings between the two programs in Birmingham. However, the Blazers won the last meeting between the two sides in 2004.
OFFICIALLY AAC
UAB men's soccer is the first of all Blazer programs to join the American Athletic Conference. While each of the other UAB programs will join the league in 2023, men's soccer became an affiliate member for the 2022 season due to C-USA no longer supporting men's soccer.
COMMON OPPONENTS
Each team has faced off with both Mercer and FAU during the 2022 season. The Blazers fell 3-2 to the Bears while South Florida took home a 2-0 victory. Each side also took on FAU. The Bulls played to a 1-1 draw while the Blazers fell 1-0.
LAST TIME OUT FOR THE BLAZERS
The Blazers played to a 0-0 draw against then-No. 18/12 Tulsa in the first AAC game played at PNC Field. Jack Hudson made six saves while facing 23 shots, giving him conference Goalkeeper of the Week honors.
SCOUTING THE BULLS
While South Florida has scored only five goals on the season, the Bulls have only allowed seven goals through seven games. Goalkeeper Jackson Weyman holds a .794 save percentage on the year.
RETURNING PRODUCTION
The Blazers return three of their top four goal scorers from the 2021 campaign in Nathaniel St. Louis, Brooks Rice and Curtis DeLeon. Also returning is Teodor Thorvaldsen who led the team with four assists.
WE'RE ALL FROM SOMEWHERE
UAB men's soccer has student-athletes from six states and eight different countries (Norway, Canada, Germany, Spain, Israel, Hungary, Austria). Alabama is the most well-represented state with nine Blazers and Norway is the most well-represented country outside of the U.S. with three players (Thorvaldsen, Love Groth, Overland).
LOTS OF NEW FACES
UAB brings in many new faces for the 2022 season. The Blazers added 19 newcomers during the offseason to add depth to the rotation.
THE VETERANS
Brooks Rice, Nathaniel St. Louis and Curtis DeLeon have led the way for UAB so far on the offensive end. St. Louis leads the Blazers with three goals on the year while Rice has added two of his own. DeLeon has assisted on four of UAB's seven goals. His four assists are tied for the most by a Blazer since 2015.
TOUGH SCHEDULE
UAB has already faced off with four ranked teams during the 2022 season. The Blazers are schedule to face off with No. 23 SMU on Sunday at 7 p.m. in Dallas.
HUDSON'S BRILLIANCE IN GOAL
Graduate student Jack Hudson has been a standout for the Blazers in goal throughout the 2022 season. Hudson ranks third in the AAC and 35th in the NCAA with 33 saves on the season. He was named AAC Goalkeeper of the Week for his performance against then-No. 18/12 Tulsa. Agianst then-No. 1 Clemson, Hudson made a career-high 10 saves.
