FINALLY HOME: After a terrific 3-1 start to the season in four neutral site games, the UAH men's soccer team will finally hit the Charger Park pitch on Friday against Tennessee Temple at 7 p.m. before hosting Talladega on Sunday at 5 p.m. UAH has won two of its last three home openers, including a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over Lincoln Memorial last season in the first edition of Friday Night Football at Charger Park.
 
BIG WINS: All three of UAH's wins this season have come against Sunshine State Conference teams, and the most recent victory was a 3-2 overtime win over then-No. 3 Rollins. Ryo Suzuki tallied three points in the game including the game-winning strike, and the UAH defense was particularly strong last weekend as it did not allow a shot on goal from Florida Southern and only allowed a pair of goals off set pieces to the Tars.
 
STRONG IN GOAL: Junior Michael Winstone has seen all the action in goal for the Chargers this season, posting a 3-1 record and a goals against average of 1.22 to rank second in the league. Under his watch, UAH has posted two clean sheets which is tied for tops in the conference.
 
ABOUT TENNESSEE TEMPLE:  The Crusaders enter the contest at 2-4, having lost 2-0 to Georgia Gwinnett in their most recent contest. In the game prior to that, Tennessee Temple showed its ability to score goals as it recorded a 5-1 victory over Oakwood.
 
SERIES HISTORY: UAH owns the all-time series by a 6-2-1 margin, but the two programs have not met on the pitch since the 1995 season. The first meeting came in 1974 with the Chargers posting a 6-0 shutout, starting a string of four straight clean sheets against the Crusaders.
 
ABOUT TALLADEGA: The Tornadoes won their last time out, beating Oakwood 6-0 to move their record to 1-3 on the season.
 
SERIES HISTORY: The series between Talladega and UAH is tied at 1-1. The Chargers won the first-ever meeting back in 2011 by a 7-0 score in a contest that featured a hat trick for Kyle Simmons in his collegiate debut, but the Tornadoes would return to Huntsville and pick up a 2-1 victory in 2012 to level the series.
