A Georgia State own goal added the final score of the match at the 87:40 mark.
"I thought the team dug down and played hard today," said UAB head coach Mike Getman. "We shut out a good Georgia State team. We played hard from start to finish today."
The Blazers out-shot the Panthers 13-3.
UAB goalkeepers Clint Baumstark and Keith Borgner combined for the shutout. The Blazers now have six shutouts for the season.
