Alabama A&M at UAB

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Interstat) — Two in-state programs seeking momentum will meet Wednesday when the UAB Blazers host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs in a nonconference women’s basketball game at Bartow Arena.

UAB (0-2) is looking for its first win of the season after dropping its first two contests at home. The Blazers fell 91-68 to South Alabama on Saturday. Sofia Munoz led the way in that loss, scoring 20 points. UAB also suffered a narrow 62-59 defeat to West Alabama in its season opener on Nov. 3.

Alabama A&M (1-1) arrives in Birmingham after a season of extremes, following up a 103-32 rout of Talladega with an 84-45 loss to Mississippi on Nov. 7. Maori Davenport was a bright spot in the defeat, pouring in a team-high 18 points.

The game presents an opportunity for both teams to steady themselves before difficult stretches. UAB embarks on a three-game road trip following this contest, while Alabama A&M’s next matchup is at powerhouse Alabama on Nov. 17.

Tipoff is set for Wednesday night.
