Avery Berryman, a senior forward for the UAB women's soccer program, received an honorable mention in the American Conference after a series of standout displays that helped the Blazers open their season with back‑to‑back wins.
Her impact was immediate: she opened the campaign with a goal against Georgia State, then struck again against Mississippi State, narrowing a deficit before the team surged to a 4‑2 victory, the latter coming when she found the net in the 79th minute to seal the result.
Beyond scoring, Berryman also played a pivotal role in setting up the team's first goal of the season, threading a precise assist to teammate Morgan Goehring, a moment that underscored her all‑around influence on the pitch.
Looking Ahead to Western Kentucky
The Blazers are now preparing for their next test on the road, scheduled for August 20 at 7 p.m. CT against Western Kentucky. The upcoming contest will be a chance for Berryman and her teammates to build on the momentum generated by her early‑season heroics.
Coaches and fans alike are eager to see how the senior forward will continue to shape the team's dynamics, especially as the schedule progresses and the stakes increase.
