HUNTSVILLE | The University of Alabama in Huntsville men's soccer team – playing with several regular starters out of the game – battled toe-to-toe with No. 14 West Alabama before a late goal lifted the visiting Tigers to a 1-0 victory at Charger Park. UAH slips to 8-6-2 (7-2-2 Gulf South Conference), while UWA improves to 14-2-0 (10-1-0 GSC).
 
Turning Point
-West Alabama broke the scoreless tie in the 88th minute when Ali Brador collected a rebound and fired it off the crossbar where it fell just inside the line for the game-winning tally.
 
Inside the Box Score
-The visitors may have built up a wide 11-2 advantage in shots that were on target, but shot attempts were much closer at 18-12 in favor of UWA.
-The Tigers also established a 10-6 edge in corners on the evening.
-UAH goalkeeper Myles Fullen was terrific on the night, registering 10 saves.
-Shane Woodruff led the Chargers with three shots, while he and Garrett Manley had both of the UAH attempts that were on frame.
 
Noteworthy
-The contest is the final one for UAH's seniors as Gunnar Birgisson, Leon Brudy, Daniel Buchanan, and Jordan Wright were all honored in a special ceremony prior to the game.
-The 10 saves mark a new career-best for Fullen, surpassing his previous high of eight which he registered on Sept. 8 of last season against Montevallo.
-With the upcoming GSC tournament in mind, Wright played for just 15 minutes before being lifted from the game, while leading scorer Corentin Diverres saw no action in the contest.
 
Next Time Out
-The Chargers will now be off until next Friday thanks to their second-place regular season finish, and the team will await the winner of third-seeded Mississippi College and the No. 6 seed team. That semifinal contest is slated for noon on Nov. 3 at the Emory Folmar YMCA complex in Montgomery, Alabama.
