LOOKING TO STAY HOT: The Chargers are off to the best start for a UAH team since the 1997 season, and the team will look to build upon that success when Mississippi College visits Friday at 7:30 p.m. and as Delta State comes calling at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. UAH is 5-1-0 overall on the season and will be opening the conference slate against MC on Friday.
 
ALUMNI NIGHT: Friday night at Charger Park will be Alumni Night as UAH welcomes back its soccer alums for the women's and men's doubleheader. Presentation of an alumni card will grant free admission to the games for UAH soccer graduates and their families, and the UAH Alumni Association will be present with free Charger spirit items available.
 
NO GOALS ALLOWED: UAH has not allowed a score nearly 200 minutes en route to posting two straight shutouts, and the team now leads the GSC and ranks seventh in the nation with a shutout percentage of 0.67 with four total clean sheets on the season. The Chargers have allowed 78 shots on the season but only 21 of the opposition's attempts have been on goal.
 
SCORING LEADERS: With 13 goals on the season, the Chargers currently rank in a tie for second in the GSC in total scores, and UAH also owns two of the top five individual spots in the statistical rankings with Anthony Benitez and Kyle Simmons ranking third and fourth, respectively, in total points.
 
ABOUT THE CHOCTAWS: Mississippi College visits the Tennessee Valley with an overall record of 5-2 and 0-1 in GSC play. The team is coming off a 1-0 non-conference win over Christian Brothers on Monday, and MC is led offensively by Brian Vasquez who has four goals and six assists for 14 points.
 
GAMES AGAINST MC IN THE STANDINGS: Though the Choctaws are not eligible for postseason play, all contests against Mississippi College count as GSC contests in the league standings.
 
SERIES HISTORY: Friday night will mark the first meeting between UAH and the Choctaws.
 
ABOUT THE STATESMEN: Delta State is 3-3 on the season with a 1-0 mark in conference play after picking up a 4-2 victory over Mississippi College earlier in the year that has spared a three-game winning streak for DSU. Amine Rahmani leads Sunday's visitors with six points off a pair of goals and two assists.
 
SERIES HISTORY: UAH is 11-2-0 all-time against the Statesmen, including a pair of wins a season ago. In the contest in Huntsville last year, Hermann Bjornsson scored twice and Simmons added another to produce a 3-1 final.
