After having played away for five weekends in New Mexico, Las Vegas, Fullerton, Georgia, and Oklahoma many of us were excited to play at home.

In my first few months at UConn, I only ran into Coach Looney a few times. He worked closely with the pitchers and catchers but wasn’t around every day at practice (as a 1.5 hour commute on the Mass Pike stood in his way.)

Friday marks the beginning of our first spring practice of 2012, and everyone can’t wait to get back together. Since it is the last year for a few of us, it’s a little bitter-sweet to step on the field one last “first time”. We’re all anxious to get going, but sad to know that it’s […] ...

One double header down. Many more to go. This past Sunday, we played a game against Eastern Connecticut and Bryant. The first game did not go as anticipated.

So far, my first experiences of college life at the University of Connecticut have been interesting.

So, we started our first week of … Keep reading → ...
It is hard to believe that I have already been at UConn for one month. It honestly feels like only a week ago I was saying farewell to my family and hello to my freshmen year at college. I was excited and eager to start this new chapter of my life, but a little nervous, … Keep reading → ...
When I first got to college, I couldn’t have been happier about what was about to be the next four years of my life. People told me these would be the best four years of my life, and your freshman year will be easy because it’s like a repeat of classes you took in high … Keep reading → ...
Yesterday, I had that familiar pit in my stomach, the one that always presents itself on days I know will end in physical and mental exhaustion. Testing day.

The team arrived in Columbia, Mo., late Wednesday night after a pretty smooth bus ride from Bloomington across the Midwest via I-70.
