BIRMINGHAM- After a tough loss at Marshall over the weekend the Blazers will hit the road again to face long-time rival Memphis in a Tuesday night non-conference contest at 7 p.m.
UAB (1-7-1) looks for a confidence boosting win after dropping four straight contests. The Blazers boast the advantage in the series, leading the Tigers 20-19-1 all time and have not lost to Memphis since 2016.
Memphis (7-2-0) comes into the matchup having won five straight games. Their last loss came on Sept. 8 in Birmingham when the Tigers fell to Mercer in UAB's Soccer for a Cure Classic. The Tigers are averaging 2.22 goals per game. Memphis is led by forward Sam Ashton who has eight goals on the season, including a hattrick in the Tigers 3-2 defeat of No. 11 Xavier on Sept. 14.
"Rivalry games are always fun because they can go in any direction," said head coach Jeff Kinney. "Memphis is having a great year and they are a talented team. We are looking forward to the challenge of playing them on their home field."
The Blazers will take on Memphis at 7 p.m. at Memphis Track & Soccer Complex. The match will be streamed live on Memphis Tiger Network and live stats will be available to follow.
