BIRMINGHAM - The women's tennis team will face off against Samford at the Hoover Met tomorrow. The match is set for 1 p.m.
We interviewed one of the senior players on the team to hear more details about this rivalry.
"I'm excited because after many years we get the chance to play them at our home courts," said Wasserbauerova. "Every time we play Samford, it is very intense and loud. They're a good team that doesn't give anything for free, so it is always a battle until the very last point."

UAB holds a 17-12 edge over Samford. The Blazers won the last matchup 4-3 against the Bulldogs.
