BIRMINGHAM– The UAB men’s soccer team will be on the road to face Charlotte on Saturday at 1 p.m.
“Charlotte is always a well-organized and physical team,” said head coach Jeff Kinney. “It is very impressive to have runs in the NCAA tournament and finish in the top of the league on a regular basis like they have. We know we will have our work cut out for us, but it will be a good test to see where we are as a team.”
