About the Chargers

• This week marks the final two home games for seniors Conner Blasi and Andrew Donovan, and the two have seen a great deal of success during their tenure as the Chargers have been to three straight NCAA tournaments, advanced to the NCAA South Regional championship in three consecutive years, and also earned a pair of berths to the Elite Eight.
• Blasi has been a steady shooter, registering a field goal percentage of at least 55 percent in each of his four seasons, and he would have made a strong push to join UAH's 1,000-point club had he not been unfortunately hampered by injury during his junior campaign.
• Donovan has been known to get hot from beyond the arc, hitting a career-best four 3-pointers in the Mayor's Cup against Alabama A&M earlier this season, and he featured a strong 42.2 3-point percentage during his sophomore season.
• The Chargers will look to protect their home court in the final two games of the regular season against Union on Thursday and North Alabama Saturday. UAH is 11-2 at home with its only setbacks coming at the beginning of the season by a combined 12 points.
• While known for his ability to get teammates involved during the game, Greg Gardner has also stepped up his scoring as of late. The sophomore point guard is averaging just under ten points a game in the last five games on 68.2 percent shooting from the field (15-22).
