BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- UAB junior forward Frank Brown was named to the College Soccer News' National Team of the Week, which was announced last Monday afternoon. With the nod, Brown is the first Blazer to earn the accolade since Jerson Monteiro earned a spot on the national team for the week of Oct. 16, 2006.

Brown had an outstanding week in leading the Blazers to the 2007 UAB Classic championship. Brown scored two game-winning goals in two games, en route to earning the Most Valuable Player of the tournament accolades. Against Birmingham-Southern, the Preston, England native scored the game's first goal en route to a 3-0 victory against the Blazers' crosstown rival.

In the championship game against Mercer, Brown scored the game-winning goal 4:22 into the first overtime, to record the Blazers' first UAB Classic championship since 2004. He has now scored a goal in each of the Blazers' last three contests. He currently leads UAB with four goals and 10 points on the season.

Entering this week, Brown, who was also tabbed the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week, leads the league in goals (4), goals per game (0.67), points (10) and game-winning goals (3), while also ranking second in assists (2).

Brown will lead the Blazers in two important games over the weekend. UAB will first travel to Bloomington, Ind. to take on the nationally-ranked Indiana Hoosiers on Friday, Sept. 21, at 6 p.m. CT. The Blazers will then return home to do battle with the Jacksonville Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m. at West Campus Field.
