SERIES HISTORY
Memphis leads the all-time series 22-20-1. The teams have faced each other every season dating back to 1991. The Blazers' 43 meetings with the Tigers are the most against a single opponent in program history. Memphis won last year's contest 2-0.

LAST TIME OUT FOR THE BLAZERS
UAB fell at home to Purdue Fort Wayne, 3-1. After the Mastadons took an early 1-0 lead, the Blazers answered back with Mayno Linares' first goal of the season, but PFW scored a pair of second half goals to take the match.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS
Memphis is led by Lineker Rodrigues Dos Santos, who has eight goals, including DI-leading five game-winners, this season. Jackson Kim also has three goals for the Tigers. Colin Welsh has started the majority of the matches for Memphis in goal.

FRESHMAN MAKING AN EARLY IMPACT
Isaac Calderon is making his mark early in his UAB career. The freshman from North Las Vegas, Nev. put one in the back of the net in his collegiate debut at Northern Kentucky and followed that up with another goal at Georgia State in game two. Calderon was ranked as the No. 64 player in Top Drawer Soccer's recruiting rankings for the 2023 class.

NEWCOMERS STEPPING UP
This season, underclassmen have scored eight of the Blazers' 10 goals, with five coming from newcomers.

Five of the eight goalscorers had not scored a goal for UAB entering the season.
