The AVCA Top Flight program recognizes pairs who compete in at least 15 matches together at a specific flight and win at least 75% of those matches. In its eighth year, the program honored 80 pairs across all collegiate levels.
Haas and Stant anchored UAB's top flight with a 29-8 record on Court 1, setting a program single-season record for wins. The duo earned Conference USA Pair of the Year honors and was named to the CUSA All-Tournament Team. They also became the first AVCA All-Americans in program history, earning second-team recognition. Haas collected her fourth career all-conference honor, including three first-team selections (2023, 2025, 2026), while Stant earned first-team honors for the second time in her career. The pair now adds back-to-back AVCA Top Flight awards to its list of accomplishments.
On Court 4, Stockard and Day combined for a 15-2 record, providing one of the most consistent performances in the Blazers' lineup. Stockard finished the season 25-11 overall, including an 18-5 mark on Court 4, while Day posted a 20-13 overall record and went 16-3 on Court 4.
Both pairs played key roles in UAB's record-setting 2026 season, which included a program-best 26 wins and an undefeated mark in Conference USA play.
