BIRMINGHAM - UAB will host another power-conference program when Big Ten foe Wisconsin comes to PNC Field on Friday night. The match is set for a 7 p.m. start on ESPN+.
SERIES HISTORY
The Badgers won the only meeting between the two programs in 2019 in a 2-1 contest.
OFFICIALLY AAC
Friday's match will be the Blazers' first official competition as a member of the American Athletic Conference. UAB men's soccer will compete in the AAC for the 2022 season, joining Charlotte, FAU and FIU as affiliate members.
COMMON OPPONENTS
The sole common opponent between the two programs is Tulsa. Wisconsin faced the Golden Hurricane earlier this season and led 3-0 before the match was called due to weather in the 68th minute. Because they had not reached the 70th minute, it was declared a "no contest." The Blazers will face No. 12 Tulsa on Sept. 30 at home.
LAST TIME OUT FOR THE BLAZERS
The Blazers faced off with No. 5/7 Wake Forest on Saturday night under the lights. Despite a closely contested match, the Demon Deacons broke through with a pair of late goals to take the victory.
SCOUTING THE BADGERS
Wisconsin sits at 1-2 on the season after a few tough breaks. The Badgers led 3-0 over then-No. 11 Tulsa before the match was called due to weather just two minutes before the result would become official. In their last contest, against Western Michigan, a pair of late goals, including the winner with :01 left on the clock, gave WMU the win.
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. Rice leads the team with five points (2 G, 1 A) while St. Louis has found the back of the net twice. DeLeon leads the Blazers with three assists so far on the year.
TOUGH SCHEDULE
Six of the Blazers' opponents on the 2022 schedule are currently ranked in the Top 25 of the Top Drawer Soccer or United Soccer Coaches rankings while two others are receiving votes.
BE SEEN IN GREEN
On Fridays, UAB fans are encouraged to wear green to show their Blazer pride on campus and at all UAB events.
