Lakeland, Fla.

UAH at Rollins (0-2-0)
Sunday, Sept. 13 | 12:30 p.m. | Stats | Video
Winter Park, Fla.

LAST WEEK: The Chargers opened the year with a 3-1 loss at Carson-Newman, in which junior Leo De Smedt scored his first goal of the season. UAH then cruised to a 14-0 win over nearby Oakwood that included multi-goal performances from Jordan Wright and James Ballamy.
 
NEWCOMER'S BIG GAME: A transfer from Lees-McRae, Wright tied the program record with seven goals scored and one assist in the 14-0 victory over Oakwood, setting the UAH single game mark for points in a game with 15. The West Lothian, Scotland, native played 18 games last season at Lees-McRae.
 
SUCCESS OFF THE BENCH: Redshirt senior James Ballamy has appeared in both matches this season, totaling 143 minutes. The Worthing, England, native, scored his first career goal and a total of three goals in the match against Oakwood. Ballamy posted three assists last season in 18 games played.
 
ABOUT THE MOCS: Florida Southern enters the contest after an 0-2-0 showing on the weekend's first season. The Mocs travelled to Young Harris and dropped a 2-0 neutral-site decision to Lees-McRae before falling to the nation's third-ranked team in Young Harris 2-1. Jonathan Radvogin scored the lone goal for FSC in the setback.
 
SERIES HISTORY: The Chargers are 3-8-1 against Florida Southern overall, and the third win in the all-time series came a season ago when UAH was a 1-0 winner in a neutral-site game at West Florida. In that victory, Daniel Buchanan scored the eventual game-winner in the final minute of the opening half.
 
ABOUT THE TARS: Rollins took a trip to Colorado to open the season this past weekend, falling on Thursday to Regis by a score of 2-1 and to Colorado Mines on Saturday by a 4-3 final. Brett Durrance leads the team with two goals, while Tosan Popo paces the Tars with five points from one goal and three assists.
 
SERIES HISTORY: UAH owns an all-time series record of 2-4-0 against Rollins, with the most recent matchup occurring last season and ending in a 3-2 overtime win for the Chargers over the then-ranked No. 3 Tars. Goalkeeper Michael Winstone totaled five saves in the victory.
 
LOOKING AHEAD: The Chargers will continue with non-conference play with a match at Charger Park next week against North Georgia on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 4 p.m.
