First Kick UAB kicks-off its 2016 campaign with a weekend doubleheader starting with Memphis on Friday and Xavier on Sunday. The Blazers are playing their inaugural season at BBVA Compass Field. The facility now serves as the home of the UAB men s and women s soccer teams. UAB finished last year overall, its first losing season since 2008 and only the third time the Blazers finished below.500 in the last 23 years. The Blazers return 12 letterwinners and eight starters from last season while welcoming in 11 new additions to the roster. Memphis is coming off a campaign in which the Tigers finished in the AAC. The Tigers are no strangers to UAB. This will be the 38th meeting between the two. While the Blazers hold a slight edge in the all-time series 19-18, Memphis hasn t beaten UAB since 2012 and hasn t won in Birmingham since The Blazers have won three straight including a 3-1 victory to open last season. This is the first meeting between UAB and Xavier since the Musketeers won 3-0 at a neutral site in Xavier opens its season on Friday night with a home contest versus Evansville. The Musketeers finished 2015 with a record and result in the Big East. The Blazers top returning goal scorer from last season is senior Rami Dajani. Dajani scored three goals and added one assist for seven points in UAB returns one player from last season to start all 16 games and that is defender/midfielder William White. He is expected to be a key cog in the Blazers defense at the center back position. probable starters Pos. No. Name Yr.

Ala. - BBVA Compass Field Last Time Out: UAB 1, Louisville 1 Mother Nature put a damper on the UAB men s soccer team final exhibition contest against Louisville. Lightning and heavy rain forced the game to called after 39 minutes of play and result in a 1-1 draw. The Blazers concluded the preseason at Louisville pressured the Blazers out of the gate and scored in the ninth minute from a designed play off a corner kick. Danny Reynolds played it short to Tim Kubel who crossed it from left to right where Jack Gayton headed the ball in. Two seniors connected for the lone UAB goal in the 19th minute. Henrique Sposito received a pass from Rami Dajani to tie the score after the early Cardinals goal. Dajani played the ball low across the box where Sposito finished with his left foot. Notebook Scouting The Opponent Memphis Memphis finished last in the AAC last season after going in conference and overall. The Tigers return an experienced bunch including leading goal-scorer Raul Gonzalez (seven goals) and goalkeeper Jake Leeker. They were in the preseason with a 1-1 draw against Louisville and 5-0 victory over Union. Scouting The Opponent Xavier Xavier was picked to finish fourth in the Big East after a finish last year. The Musketeers lose Big East Goalkeeper of the Year Dallas Jaye as well as their leading scorer from last season, Alex Ridsdale (eight goals) but do return 52 percent of their goal-scoring from last season. The Musketeers finished in the preseason with a 3-1 loss to No. 4 Maryland. Youth Movement UAB lost its top three scorers from last year to graduation including Freddy Ruiz who ranks tied for fourth all-time in school history for goals (29) and eighth in points (66). The Blazers welcome 11 new faces to the team and have a roster that consists of 17 freshmen or redshirt freshmen. During the preseason, freshmen accounted for four of the team s six goals including two goals and one assist coming from Massimo Ferrin. BBVA Compass Field Expansion UAB and BBVA Compass Bank announced back in November a plan to bring a new soccer facility to campus. The bank announced they would provide a $1.5 million gift, and in recognition of that, the facility was named BBVA Compass Field. The facility will seat roughly 2,500 fans once expansion is finished.

While this is inevitable, it is important to note that the two are indeed separate institutions. In addition, the UAB name is often altered by various media, opponents, merchandisers, etc. Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name: UAB or University of Alabama at Birmingham #togetherweare

The two players were chosen after a vote by their peers. Laurent, who sat out last season with a medical redshirt, was named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team in The Canadian played in all 20 games for the Blazers including 17 starts on the UAB backline. Kuzminsky receives the honor after starting 33 of a possible 38 games across the last years. Both players have been apart of the C-USA Commissioner s Academic Honor Roll each of the last two seasons. Kuzminsky Nearing the Record Books Senior goalkeeper Joe Kuzminsky is nearing two milestone achievements. The Denver, Colo., native comes into the season with 15 career wins and 127 career saves. Kuzminsky is just eight wins shy of joining the top five in school history and 14 saves short of entering the Blazers top ten all-time. He has played in 37 games to date including 13 appearances last year. The 6 4 netminder is the only goalkeeper on the roster with collegiate experience. Dajani Approaching School Annals Senior forward Rami Dajani is the only player on the Blazers roster to register more than two career goals. The native of Niles, Ill., has scored 12 times in his career, placing him just nine goals shy of the top ten. He will be tasked with anchoring a front line this season that is likely to consist of entirely freshmen outside of himself. Scoring in Bunches The Blazers have registered three-or-more goals 11 times since 2014 and boast a perfect 11-0 record in such contests. The last time UAB reached that achievement was last season against Florida Atlantic, a 3-0 victory on the road. Clicking in the Second Half UAB has been a strong team in the second half of games in recent history. The Blazers have scored more goals in the second half than first half every year since 2008 and have gone seven straight seasons of scoring more second half goals than their opponents. Over that seven-year span, UAB is outscoring opponents in the second half, good for a +46 scoring margin. Scoring First Key for Blazers The Blazers conceeded the first goal of the game 10 times last season and were just 1-9 in such contests. However, UAB did manage a 4-2 record when getting on the scoreboard first in Foreign Imports UAB boasts a deep international roster with 11 players being born outside the United States borders across nine countries. The Blazer internationals also cover five of the seven continents. Three of those players, Massimo Ferrin, Mathieu Laurent, and Philip Makinde, hail from Ontario, Canada. Tweetable Notes Friday night will mark just the second game at BBVA Compass Field for the Blazers men s team To date, there has been four games played on BBVA Compass Field (three for the women, one for the men) The Blazers are currently slated to face four ranked teams this year, three of which hail from Conference USA Friday will mark 322 days since the last active player for the Blazers scored a goal (Henrique Sposito, 10/10/15 vs. Florida International) The Blazers led at halftime in three games last season, one of those contests coming against Memphis in the season-opener Last Time They Scored Player (Career Goal) Opponent Date Henrique Sposito (1) Florida International Oct. 10, 2015 Ryan Sullivan (1) Gardner-Webb Sept. 13, 2015 Rami Dajani (12) Gardner-Webb Sept. 13, 2015 DeAndre Robinson (2) Memphis Aug. 28, 2015 James Ngoe (1) Marshall Oct. 18, 2014 Lars Willemse (1) Missouri State Sept. 23, 2014 #togetherweare
