BIRMINGHAM – Riding a five-match winning streak, the UAB beach volleyball teams heads to Atlanta this weekend for the GSU Digging Duals hosted by Georgia State this Friday and Saturday, April 7-8.

UAB opens the tournament on Friday with No. 16 South Carolina, followed by facing 2022 NCAA Tournament participant UT Martin. On Saturday, the Blazers square off with No. 20 Stetson and No. 11 Georgia State.
The Blazers are coming off a 4-0 weekend at home and have improved their record to 13-10 overall.
