CLOSING OUT PRE-HOLIDAYS PLAY: The 20th-ranked Chargers will continue play on the road this week with a 9-1 overall record and as the only undefeated team in conference play at 4-0. UAH ventures to Shorter at 7 p.m. on Thursday before traveling to Cleveland, Tennessee, to face Lee on Saturday at  6 p.m. Both games can be heard on 97.7 The Zone in the Tennessee Valley.

Reigning GSC Player of the Week Preston Herring has been terrific in the four games, nearly averaging a double-double with 9.5 points and 9.5 boards per contest.
 
BLOCK PARTY: Herring has totaled 23 blocks on the season – including a season-high of six against both Saint Leo and West Georgia – and the junior ranks second in the GSC in total blocks behind Valdosta State's Colin Cook who has 24 on the season. The total is also good for eighth nationally.
