BIRMINGHAM – The UAB men's soccer team's 2026 campaign came to a close Sunday, as the Blazers fell 3-2 to Florida Atlantic at PNC Field despite a late two-goal effort from Tony Kim.

Florida Atlantic opened the scoring in the 12th minute to take a 1-0 lead. UAB looked to respond before halftime, putting five shots on goal during the opening 45 minutes but was unable to find the equalizer.

The Owls extended their advantage early in the second half, scoring in the 51st minute before adding another goal in the 65th minute to take a 3-0 lead.

UAB responded with a late surge, beginning with Kim converting a penalty kick in the 77th minute to put the Blazers on the board. Just under three minutes later, Kim struck again, finding the back of the net in the 79th minute to bring UAB within one.

The Blazers continued to push for the equalizer in the closing minutes, finishing with 15 shots, including six on target, compared to 14 shots and seven on goal for Florida Atlantic. UAB's best opportunity came in the final minute, when Ole Jessen's attempt struck the crossbar.

The Blazers finish the 2026 season with a 5-5-5 overall record and a 2-3-3 mark in American Conference play. Following the match, Lucas Nordin, Lucas Rizzo, Tony Kim, Humphrey Doh, Han Jiwon, Alan Melendez and Sam Roberson were recognized for their contributions to the program during Senior Night festivities.
