SERIES HISTORY
This will be the first meeting between UAB and and FGCU.
LAST TIME OUT FOR THE BLAZERS
The Blazers tied Houston Christian in the final game of the Soccer for the Cure Tournament. UAB took the lead just before halftime when Markus Meincke played the ball ahead to Haris Osmanbasic for his first Blazer goal. UAB held the lead for the majority of the match, but the Huskies scored a late equalizer in the 88th minute to salvage a tie.
SCOUTING THE EAGLES
FGCU enters the contest with an identical 0-2-2 record as the Blazers. The Eagles have struggled to score so far this season with only two goals over the four games.
CALDERON 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 all of the Blazers' goals, with three coming from newcomers. Freshman Isaac Calderon leads the Blazers with two goals while Kaleb Jowers, Alan Melendez and Haris Osmanbasic each have one. Each of the four goalscorers had not scored a goal for UAB entering the season.
