In a cloudy downtown Birmingham, Alabama, the Blazers and the Owls met in a match that could set the tone for the final month of the season. Even with a staunch attack by FAU, the Blazers found a way to get past the Owls 1-0.
Football is back in full force this week, as week 0 has come and gone, meaning week 1 and a full slate of AAC games are on tap for this weekend.
After a 4-8 season in 2023 that was plagued with an inconsistent defense but highlighted with a high-powered offense, UAB went into the offseason looking to find a way to get both sides of the ball to gel, they have done that and now head into the 2024 season with a chip on their shoulder.
FAU opened up their series at home against UAB Friday night, hoping to get back in the win column following a midweek loss against Florida in which the Owls came up short 10-8. UAB came into game one at the bottom of the AAC standings, and looked to put together a win with Blayze Berry on the mound.
