UAB Men’s Soccer Hosts Evansville in Exhibition
8/11/2023 11:44:00 AM | Men's Soccer
BIRMINGHAM – UAB men's soccer will kick off the 2023 season on Saturday against Evansville at PNC Field. The exhibition contest is set for 3 p.m. CT and admission is free. There will not be a broadcast for the exhibition matches.
The Blazers enter their second year in the AAC this season following a 3-9-4 campaign in 2022 and will look to make a mark in year two.
Graduate goalkeeper Jack Hudson returns for UAB and will be a key piece of this year's squad. He earned second team All-AAC honors last season after leading the league with 60 saves and finishing second with a GAA of 1.36 and a save percentage of .759. Hudson recorded three shutouts on the year, including a 0-0 draw with No. 10 Tulsa.
In the midfield the Blazers have a pair of sophomores that will look to make an impact in their second season in Birmingham. Mathias Love Groth earned AAC All-Rookie Team recognition last season and will play a key role on this year's squad. Benedikt Erhard was recognized as a breakout candidate by Top Drawer Soccer this offseason after playing in 15 matches and making nine starts last season. Erhard recorded two assists during his freshman campaign.
