BIRMINGHAM, Ala. \u2013 The Samford Bulldogs\u00a0dropped a 4-1 decision to the UAB Blazers on Wednesday at the Hoover Met, marking another early-season road challenge for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

UAB claimed the doubles point with two wins , despite a strong 6-0 victory from Samford’s duo of Eleni Liakonis<\/a> and Hailey Troup<\/a>. Trailing 1\u20130 entering singles play, the Bulldogs fought to stay within reach throughout the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Samford earned its lone point from\u00a0Cathy Cardona-Carbal when she secured a three-set win, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2. Several other singles matches were tightly contested, including an unfinished battle on court two that stretched into a third set before the team score was decided.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs will look to regroup and build momentum as they continue spring competition on Saturday, Feb. 21st at home against Alabama A&M. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m.<\/p>\n
