The UAB men’s soccer team scored two goals to upset the No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats in front of a sizeable home crowd on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The Blazers improved to 6-3-3 overall and 2-1-1 in Conference-USA.

“I thought it was a really good performance tonight,” said head coach Mike Getman. “Kentucky’s a terrific team, but I thought tonight we outplayed them and deserve the result.”

In the first half of the game, the Blazers gained a two-point lead against Kentucky, who remained scoreless in the first half before scoring their lone point in the second half.
