BIRMINGHAM – The UAB volleyball team fell to North Texas on Friday night inside Bartow Arena.
North Texas jumped out to an early advantage, scoring seven of the match's first eight points. The Mean Green extended their lead to as many as 12 before taking the opening set, 25-16.
The Blazers responded in the second set, jumping out to an 8-2 lead and extending their advantage to 12-5. However, North Texas answered with five consecutive points to pull within two. The teams traded points throughout a back-and-forth finish, with both sides reaching set point multiple times. A Makayla Meister kill tied the set at 26, but the Mean Green claimed the frame, 28-26.
The third set remained competitive early before North Texas used a 4-0 run to build a 16-11 advantage. A service error brought the Blazers within three at 20-17, but the Mean Green closed out the set down the stretch to secure the match.
Mia Reese paced the Blazers with 11 kills, while Meister added 10. Rachel McCollum recorded a team-high 26 assists, and Delaney Bowser recorded a match-best 22 digs. Sydney Austin led UAB at the net with 5.0 blocks.
UAB closes out the regular season Sunday afternoon against Wichita State at Bartow Arena for Campers Reunion and Blazer Buddies Kids Club Day. First serve is set for 1 p.m., with the match streaming live on ESPN+.
