GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina soccer team resumes conference play as they travel to Birmingham, Ala. for a date with the UAB Blazers at 8 p.m. (ET) Thursday. The game will be available for streaming on ESPN+ with James Hardy and Joel Wallace on the call.

Last Time Out
The Pirates used a wonder strike by Sydney Schnell in the 12th minute and a trio of saves by Maeve English to earn a 1-0 road victory to close out non-conference play at UNC Greensboro on Sunday. The team was stout defensively again, not allowing a shot until the 43rd minute and keeping a clean sheet for the sixth time on the season.

Scouting the Blazers
UAB enters the match having battled to a 0-0 draw in their American Athletic Conference opener against Charlotte on Thursday. On the season, the Blazers have faced a quality schedule as they've worked their way to a 4-3-2 record. Carlyn Presley leads the squad with three goals on the season as a whopping 12 players have recorded points. In goal, Eve Beyer and Anika Toth have split the starts for the Blazers, both amassing impressive save percentages north of .800.

Series History
The Pirates and Blazers have actually met 10 times throughout their histories, all between 2002 and 2013, so the new conference foe is not all that new to ECU after all. The Pirates do trail the series 2-4-4, dropping that last match in 2013 by a 3-2 margin.
