husky honorPride • Responsibility • Respect

The University of Connecticut is committed to honor-ing collegiate athletic competition by demonstrat-ing pride, responsibility and respect. The UConn community, fans, alumni, students, coaches and

student-athletes promote these core values as proud Huskies and first class competitors.

in MeMoriaMWalter “Moose” Dropo, one of the most outstanding players in UConn baseball history and recognized as the greatest three-sport star in Husky athletic history , passed away on December 17, 2010.

Dropo played football, basketball and baseball for UConn and had professional opportunities in all three sports. He opted for baseball and was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 1950 for the Boston Red Sox. In 1952 as a member of the Detroit Tigers, he tied a major league record that still stands today when he collected 12 hits in 12 consecutive trips to the plate and during that hitting streak he also tied another major league record that is still in place today when he totaled 15 base hits in a four-game span.

Along with his brothers Milton and George, who were also athletic stars at UConn, the Dropos were lifelong major benefactors to their alma mater, including establishing the first fully endowed athletic scholarship at Connecticut and being acknowledged as “The First Family of UConn Athletics.”

Elliot Glynn, Mike Nemeth, George Springer and Kevin Vance were named to the Second Team, while Mike Olt, the winner of the 2010 BIG EAST Home Run Derby, Pierre LePage and Nick Ahmed earned Third Team honors.

Despite falling short of the conference crown, Springer and Nemeth were named to the All-Tournament Team, along with teammates Dan Feehan and Billy Ferriter. At season’s end, Nemeth was given national recognition as he was named to the ABCA/RAWLINGS NCAA DI All-American Third Team.

In 2009, Penders led the Huskies to a 36-24 overall record and an appearance in the BIG EAST Championship final against Louisville. UConn recorded 14 conference victories, and in so doing, won seven of their nine total BIG EAST series on the year. The Huskies took two of three games from South Florida, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and Villanova.

Entering the 2009 BIG EAST Baseball Championship as the sixth seed, the Huskies beat West Virginia 6-1 in their opening game, before eliminating South Florida with two wins in back-to-back games. Despite falling to Louisville in the Championship final, the Huskies picked up multiple accolades en route to the title game, including freshman George Springer being named the 2009 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, becoming UConn’s first-ever player to earn that honor in program history.

In 2008, Penders guided the young UConn ball club to a 27-28 overall performance as the Huskies picked up 11 BIG EAST Conference wins, including a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh to end the 2008 season. In 2007, Penders and the Huskies earned a spot in the BIG EAST Championship game after battling their way through the BIG EAST Tournament by upsetting three higher-seeded teams.

UConn’s appearance in the title game as the eighth-seed marked the lowest seed in BIG EAST Tournament history to reach the final game. In addition, Penders guided the Huskies to their third straight season with 34 or more wins, as his 2006 and 2007 squads ended the year with 39 and 34 victories, respectively.

After the 2006 season, a year in which the Huskies went 39-18-1, Penders led his program to a second place finish in the BIG EAST and earned BIG EAST Coach of the Year, and NEIBA Coach of the Year honors, while his team was named the NEIBA Team of the Year.

In July of 2003, Penders became just the fifth head coach in the program’s history since 1924 joining Sumner Dole (1924-35), J.O. Christian (1936-61), Larry Panciera (1962-79) and Andy Baylock (1980-2003). Penders was an assistant coach for the Huskies for seven years from 1997-2003 as UConn posted winning seasons in each of those campaigns. As an assistant coach, Penders coordinated the Huskies recruiting of student-athletes, served as a hitting coach and worked with the catchers and outfielders.

A standout on the baseball field for Connecticut during his undergraduate career, Penders was a four-year letter winner as a Husky. He was co-captain of the 1994 UConn squad that won the BIG EAST Conference tournament, and the Huskies advanced to the NCAA Championship in both his junior and senior years. He hit .354 with seven home runs and 46 runs batted in as a senior in 1994.

He earned First Team All-Northeast, All-New England and All-BIG EAST in his senior year as a catcher. During his UConn career, the Huskies played in the championship game of the BIG EAST Tournament three times. Penders helped the Huskies to 99 wins over his four seasons, including a 30-18 record in 1994. He also excelled in the classroom as a three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star.

Penders was a four-year member of the UConn Captains’ Council and served as that group’s president during his senior year. Penders graduated from UConn in 1994 with a degree in political science and added a master’s degree from UConn in 1998 from the School of Education. Penders worked in Washington, D.C.,

Jim Penders has worked with the University of Connecticut baseball program in 19 of the last 21 years, being associated with the Huskies as a student-athlete, an assistant coach and now head coach. He enters his eighth season at the helm of the program in 2011 after leading the UConn ball club to one of its most successful seasons in program history.

Last season, Penders’ guided the Huskies to a program-best 48-win season as his club finished the season with a 48-16 overall record. After being nationally ranked for the first time since 1979, the Huskies’ earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1994 and hosted the Norwich Regional at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn.

Prior to their NCAA Tournament bid, UConn battled its way into the BIG EAST Championship final game for the second straight year but fell to St. John’s 3-0. The Huskies earned their way into the postseason conference tournament, finishing the regular season in second place with a 20-6 record in the BIG EAST.

Along with the team success, including a program-best 22-game win streak, Penders earned multiple coaching accolades as he was named BIG EAST, ECAC, and NEIBA Coach of the Year. He was also named ABCA/Diamond Northeast Coach of the Year.

In seven seasons as head coach for the Huskies, Penders’ overall coaching record is 244-164-2.

UConn began the season winning two of three games at the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge before taking three of four from Cal State Northridge as the Huskies made their farthest road trip in program history to California. During the Huskies’ West Coast visit, they also defeated USC 5-4 in Los Angeles.

After opening BIG EAST play on the road at Louisville and dropping the first two games by one run a piece, UConn bounced back with a 6-3 victory over the nationally-ranked Cardinals, which sparked a 22-game win streak. The run for the Huskies included BIG EAST series sweeps of West Virginia, Villanova, Georgetown and Rutgers.

After Central Connecticut halted UConn’s streak with a 7-3 non-conference win, the Huskies split their series with Pittsburgh as the final game of the series was cancelled due to poor weather and field conditions in the Steel City. The Huskies followed by taking 2-of-3 games from Cincinnati, USF and Seton Hall to finish with a 20-6 BIG EAST Conference record and a second-place seeding in the conference championship tournament which was held in Clearwater, Fla. for the third straight year. The 20 conference victories marked the most for the Huskies since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 1985.

Penders was named 2010 BIG EAST Coach of the Year as his team had one of the most successful seasons in program history. Eight members of his squad earned spots on All-BIG EAST Teams, including Matt Barnes who was named to the First Team.

from 1994-96 as a political fund raiser for U.S. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa.Penders returned to UConn for the 1997 season as a graduate assistant baseball coach and became a full-time assistant coach for the 1999 season. He also founded and directs the Connecticut Baseball School. The popular camp holds sessions during the summer and winter vacation periods, along with a one-day fall session in October every year.

The connection between the Penders family and UConn athletics runs deep. Penders’ father, Jim, and uncle, Tom, both graduated from UConn and played on the Huskies’ 1965 College World Series team. Jim is a 1966 UConn graduate and has been the baseball coach at East Catholic High School since 1969, where he coached his three sons.

He was an infielder for the Huskies and had a career batting average of .279, including a .323 mark his senior year. He was a captain of the ’65 squad and the only player to hit over .300 for the Huskies that season. Jim has won four Connecticut high school state championships at East Catholic and was named the national high school coach of the year in 1996. In the summer of 2008 he was inducted into the National High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame, and in June of 2009, the baseball field at East Catholic was named in his honor.

Tom, a 1967 UConn graduate, was the head men’s basketball coach at Tufts (1971-74), Columbia (1974-78), Fordham (1978-86), Rhode Island (1986-88), Texas (1988-98), George Washington (1998-2000) and Houston (2004-10). He currently is the head coach at the University of Houston. Tom was a two-sport star at UConn in baseball and basketball as he played in two NCAA tournaments (1965 and 1967) and the 1965 College World Series. Penders’ extended family also includes a prominent former Husky. His former classmate, teammate, battery-mate and 1994 Lawrence R. Panciera Most Valuable Player, Aaron Quinn, is now his brother-in-law. Quinn pitched for the Huskies from 1991-94 and married Penders’ sister-in-law, Courtney in 1999.

Penders’ younger brother Rob is the head coach of Division II St. Edward’s University of Austin, Texas. His grandfather Jim was the longtime baseball coach at Stratford (Conn.) High School from 1931-68 and won four state championships, a record matched by Penders’ father at East Catholic. He was also the head of the physical education department and the town’s recreation director. The Stratford High School baseball and football complex is named in his honor.

Penders is also actively involved with several baseball clinics around the globe as he has presented as a featured clinician in Regensburg, Germany to German baseball coaches for International Sports Group/Major League Baseball International.

In addition to Germany, in January of 2008, he ventured overseas to instruct Swedish coaches in a three-day national clinic in Leksand, Sweden. In January of 2009, he flew to the Czech Republic for more presentations. Penders has also spent several years working at the World Baseball Convention in Uncasville, Conn., the Be The Best You Are Clinic in Cherry Hill, N.J., as well as conducting a catching clinic at the ABCA National Convention in Nashville, Tenn. in 2004.

In addition, Penders contributed a chapter in the published book, Gold Glove Baseball, in which he dissects catching techniques.

A native of Vernon, Conn., Penders was an all-state performer in baseball at East Catholic High School and served as his senior class president. Penders and his wife, Brooke, reside in Old Wethersfield, Conn., and have three children – a daughter, Tess Avery (9), and sons, James Henry “Hank” (7), and Charles Edward "Charlie" (3).

assoCiate head CoaCh jUstin Blood

Justin Blood enters his sixth season at the University of Connecticut as he serves as the Huskies’ pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Blood, a former professional base-ball player, was named Associate Head Coach for the Huskies in August of 2010.

Blood spent the summer of 2005 as the pitching coach for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod League before joining the UConn baseball program in August of 2005.

Blood helped the Huskies to one of their most successful seasons in Penders’ tenure as the UConn ballclub broke into the national rankings in 2010 for the first time since the 1979 season. During the spring of 2010, Blood and the Huskies posted a program-best 48-win season, while earning their first NCAA Tournament berth since 1994.

Blood’s pitching staff finished the season with an ERA of 3.91, which was good enough for 17th in the nation in Division I baseball. The Huskies also struck out 397 batters, the second-best tally in program history, falling short of Blood’s 2009 staff, which struck out a program-best 455.

Matt Barnes earned a spot on the 2010 All-BIG EAST First Team as he posted an 8-3 record on the hill for the Huskies with 75 strikeouts and a 3.92 ERA. Elliot Glynn and Kevin Vance were named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team as Glynn finished the year with a 7-3 record and a 2.99 ERA. Vance registered eight saves in 17 appearances to go along with his 1-0 record and an ERA of 2.41. Freshman Dan Feehan was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament team for his efforts in the league’s championship tournament in Clearwater, Fla. as he threw eight innings of work, while he earned one save, one win and struck out 10 batters.

Since 2006, Blood has had 10 UConn pitchers drafted in the Major League Baseball draft, in-cluding Elliot Glynn from the 2010 roster.

Under Blood’s direction, the UConn pitching staff posted a 3.47 earned run average in 2006, its lowest since the 1989 season before UConn’s 2010 finish. The Huskies’ team ERA was good for second in the BIG EAST and 17th in the nation. At the conclusion of the season, Tim Norton and Nick Tucci were named to the All-BIG EAST First Team. In addition to those honors, Norton, Tucci and John Slusarz were each taken in the Major League Baseball Draft in June of that year.

“Justin is an excellent commu-nicator,” said head coach Jim Penders. “His professional ex-perience, work ethic and orga-nizational skills are true assets to our program. His recruiting classes and his track record with improving our pitching staff are both top notch.”

In 2009, Blood led the UConn pitching staff to a new single-season record of 455 strikeouts, while posting a program sec-ond-best mark of 14 saves. The 2009 season also saw two Hus-ky underclassmen taken in the top-eight rounds of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft (Dan Mahoney - Fourth & Dusty Odenbach - Eighth), while all four 2009 senior hurlers had opportunities to pitch professionally in 2010 (John Folino - 27th Rnd, St. Louis Cardinals; David Erickson - 32nd Rnd, San Diego Padres; Den-nis Accomando - Atlanta Braves; Matt McDonald - Worcester Tornadoes).

Blood was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2001 and excelled in the minor leagues before retiring to pursue coaching on the collegiate level. Upon retirement, Blood had accumulated a 3.97 ERA in 82 games as a minor league player with a 7-4 record. He helped to lead the Inland Empire 66ers to the California League Class A title in 2003, posting a 5-2 record with two saves and a 3.07 ERA with 77 strikeouts and just 27 walks in 58.2 innings out of the bullpen.

The New Hampshire native joined the coaching staff at Quinnipiac University in 2003, serving as a volunteer coach, then in 2004 he returned to his alma mater, Franklin Pierce University, to complete his degree and work as the baseball team’s student assistant. Blood played three years for Franklin Pierce before being drafted. He ranks among ca-reer leaders at the college with 235 strikeouts (second), 12 wins (fourth) and a 4.62 ERA (seventh) in 204.2 innings (fourth) over 38 appearances (third) with 12 complete games (fourth). In 2001, he struck out a program-record 20 New Hampshire College batters, which still ranks fifth in NCAA Division II single-game history.

Blood married the former Hannah Walters in September of 2006. The couple currently resides in Vernon, Conn., with their two children, a son, Jackson Everett, born April 30th, 2008, and daughter Harper McKenna, born September 2nd, 2009.

assistant CoaCh steven Malinowski

Steven Malinowski returns to the UConn baseball program for his third year as an assistant coach for the Huskies.

After playing two seasons at UConn, Malinowski served as a student assistant coach for Jim Penders before spending one year at Bryant University as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs.

He coaches first base for the Huskies and is in charge of developing the UConn outfielders. In addition, he coordinates all four sessions of the Connecticut Baseball School and several hitting labs on campus throughout the year.

"As a former player of ours and a former student-assistant, he brings meticulous organiza-tional, superior communication and excellent coaching skills to the program," said Penders. "His loyalty and work ethic are great examples for our student-athletes to follow.”

Malinowski helped the Huskies to their most successful season in Penders’ tenure as UConn broke into the national rankings in 2010 for the first time since the 1979 season. The Huskies earned a program-best 48-win season in 2010, while earning their first NCAA Tournament berth since 1994.

Malinowski also served as an assistant coach with the Pittsfield Dukes in the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) in 2008, while in 2009 he was an assistant with the Manchester Silkworms.

As a senior at UConn, Malinowski played in 33 games and finished the year with a .260 batting average. He recorded three doubles and two homeruns as well as 19 RBIs on 27 hits. The two homeruns that season both came in the BIG EAST Tournament, including one in his final at-bat in a Husky uniform.

As a junior transfer from Wake Forest in 2004, Malinowski saw action in 25 games and re-corded 16 hits and 13 runs scored. While at Wake Forest for two seasons, he played in 51 games as both a pitcher and catcher. He held a .227 average as a freshman with 21 runs and 20 RBIs. In his first collegiate game, he went 4-for-5 with four runs scored to become the first freshman in Wake Forest history to tally four hits in his debut.

Malinowski is a native of Kensington, Conn. and graduated from UConn with a degree in coaching and administration in 2007.

assistant CoaCh Chris podeszwa

Chris Podeszwa enters his eighth season as an assistant coach at the University of Connecticut. Podeszwa’s focus is primarily on the instruction of infielders and hitters.

In 2010, Podeszwa helped the Huskies’ set new single-season records in hits, runs scored and RBI, besting the records the club set in 2009. UConn recorded 750 hits, 542 runs scored and 492 RBI in 2010.

After graduating from UConn in 1993, Podeszwa served as an envoy coach for Major League Baseball International in New York and Europe. His responsibilities included preparing the German Junior National Team for the European Championships while organizing coordinated clinics for youth players and coaches.

"Dez is a full-time teacher and there is nobody that works harder than he does," said Penders. "His energy is contagious and his contribution to our success has been outstanding. The fire he had as one of my teammates burns just as hot today as one of our coaches."

In 1995, Podeszwa moved to Sweden to play and coach for the Skelleftea Bears Baseball Club in Skelleftea, Sweden. His stay in Scandinavia was highlighted by both of his teams capturing the Swedish National Championship.

In 1996, Podeszwa was hired as the assistant baseball coach at Mitchell College in New London, Conn., and in 1998, he became the assistant baseball coach for the University of Connecticut’s Avery Point branch under head coach Roger Bidwell. At Avery Point, Podeszwa helped lead his squads to the NJCAA Region XXI Championship in 1999 and 2000. Avery Point also captured the Northeast Region Championship in 1999 and earned a trip to the NJCAA Division II World Series.

In between summer evaluation and recruiting assignments for the Huskies, Podeszwa continues to serve as an assistant baseball coach for Yarmouth-Dennis of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He enters his 15th season with the Red Sox, who won the league championship in 2004, 2006 and 2007.

Podeszwa played at UConn from 1990-93. He was part of the 1990 BIG EAST Championship club and played every position for the Huskies except center field. He and Penders were teammates at UConn for three seasons.

Podeszwa, who earned a master's degree in 2003 at Southern Connecticut, is married to UConn alum, Isabella Basile. The couple has three children, Sophia, born May 17, 2000, Connor, born April 1, 2003 and Emilia, born January 5, 2006. They reside in Waterford, Conn.

DeCarli and her husband Tim currently reside in Manchester, Conn.

The department of Sports Medicine in the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics works as an integrated multidisciplinary team whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe environment for the baseball student-athletes to train and participate in their sport. The staff takes great pride in the individual attention paid to each student-athlete. They are devoted to preventing injury, rapidly diagnosing and treating injury, and maximizing athletic performance. The disciplines of athletic training, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, orthopaedic sports medicine, optometry, nutrition, exercise physiology, and psychology work in concert to provide comprehensive care for the student-athlete.

The baseball team is spearheaded by Athletic Trainer Ben McGrath. Physician coverage is provided by Jeffrey Anderson, M.D., the Director of Sports Medicine and Team Physician Thomas Trojian, M.D. The Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include Edward Collins, M.D. of the Connecticut Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Willimantic, Dr.

Michael Joyce of the Orthopedic Sports Specialists in Glastonbury, Barry Messinger, M.D. of Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery in Manchester and Robert Arciero, M.D. of the University of Connecticut Health Center Department of Orthopaedics in Farmington.

The UConn Sports Medicine team is housed in state-of-the-art facilities in the Hugh S. Greer Field House and the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, as well as a new and expanded sports medicine treatment center located in the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center.

In addition to providing the finest in medical care for the UConn baseball program, the Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut administers to the daily needs of 650 male and female intercollegiate student-athletes who are competing in 24 different varsity programs. The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut plays a critical role in assuring that all UConn student-athletes have 24-hour access to the finest medical support and quality health care possible. Through patient care and ongoing research and education, the department continues to provide Husky teams a competitive edge from the medical perspective.

The strength and conditioning program for University of Connecticut is under the supervision of UConn Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Jerry Martin. The Strength and Conditioning staff services all 24 of Connecticut’s intercollegiate teams. Assisting directly with the Strength and conditioning efforts for UConn baseball is strength and conditioning staff member Maureen Butler. UConn baseball players have the use of two different weight rooms in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and the newly remodeled Hugh S. Greer Field House. In all, there are over 8,000 square feet of weight training facilities available for all UConn student-athletes.

The weight room in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion is a free weight facility and supplies the Husky student-athletes areas in which to

perform their power and Olympic lifts. The facility in the Greer Field House is fitted with more free weights in which the UConn baseball players can incorporate circuit training, speed training and heavy negative workouts into their total strength-training program.

Martin and his staff supervise a strength and conditioning program for each individual athlete for training all year long. Each program can be manipulated in order to fulfill the specific needs of the individual. Specific testing is done to each baseball player to monitor progress in strength, power, body composition, anaerobic conditioning and flexibility. These tests provide the coaches and medical staff with an accurate athletic profile on each player.

The University of Connecticut is committed to each of its student-athletes as a total person. Participation in athletics is important, but it represents only one aspect of the players college experience. At the University of Connecticut, academic achievement is the primary concern. Impressively, for the past five years the Connecticut student-athlete retention rate has been 99.0 percent. The University’s commitment to the student-athlete is a dual one. Participation in athletics is not viewed as an obstacle to the attainment of one’s educational goals, rather it is seen as a complementary activity. Each supports the other. Athletic excellence is stressed, but academic achievement is never compromised - indeed, it is given the utmost priority. The University realizes that all student-athletes, due to their academic involvement, are required to commit a large percentage

of their personal time to University sponsored athletic activities. For this reason, the University recognizes the need for a support program for its intercollegiate athletes. The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) constantly assists all student-athletes in achieving their academic goals. The CPIA staff serves as a liaison to the academic faculty, the Division of Athletics, and the student-athlete. In serving as a liaison between the Connecticut student-athletes and University faculty and staff, the CPIA counselors also provide assistance in securing appropriate support services available with the University. These include orientation for student-athletes, supervised study halls, individual tutors and tutorial centers (an English/Writing Center, Math Center and Reading Center), and learning skills seminars. For the past four years, the writing lab and computers have been networked to a national database which allow all student-athletes to do research at their actual computer stations. A counselor is assigned to work with each intercollegiate team, and working directly with the UConn baseball program is Alana Linick. Linick, a UConn 2001 graduate who now works as a CPIA counselor, monitors all aspects of each athlete’s academic life, including class schedule, arranging for tutors and progress toward a degree. Linick earned her bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Relations at UConn before getting her M.Ed in Psychology: Athletic Counseling at Springfield College in 2005. The goal at the university as well as for the CPIA department is for each Husky student-athlete is to earn a degree so they can become a success in whatever field they choose.

2011 season preview

Head coach Jim Penders is entering his eighth year at the helm of the University of Connecticut baseball team. At the conclusion of the 2010 season Penders was named the New England In-tercollegiate Baseball Association, BIG EAST Conference, ECAC and Diamond/ABCA NCAA Division I Regional Coach of the Year. It was the second time he received the NEIBA and BIG EAST Conference awards. Penders’ 2011 squad is hoping to build off of last year’s record breaking season. The 2010 Huskies won a school record 48 games and went on to host an NCAA Regional. The program gained national recognition when it made Baseball America’s Top 25 Poll for the first time ever on April 12, 2010. The Huskies climbed as high as 13th in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Poll while riding a 22-game win streak. Gone from last year’s team are graduated seniors Doug Jennings, Trent DeLazzer and Matt Burnett. The Huskies will also have to fill the void left by Mike Olt (Texas Rangers 1st supplemental round selection) and Pierre LePage (Chicago Cubs 13th round selection). Despite the losses, the 2011 Huskies return a veteran group, including seven position players who started more than 30 games in 2010. The pitching staff lost only 25.2 innings from last year’s team. The program is looking to use this experience from past years to reach its lofty goals.

PITCHERS

The Huskies’ pitching staff is coming off a strong campaign in 2010. The unit finished the year ranked 17th in the country and first in the BIG EAST Conference in ERA. Senior captain Elliot Glynn (Long Beach, Calif.) is back after turning down a professional contract over the summer. The south-paw has been making conference starts since his freshman year and will be relied on to set the tone for the weekends yet again. Junior Matt Barnes (Bethel, Conn.) is coming off a very successful sophomore campaign that led to him pitching for the USA Collegiate National Team over the sum-mer. Barnes was recently named to the Louisville Slugger Preseason All-America Third Team. Both Barnes and Glynn were All-BIG EAST performers last season. Senior Greg Nappo (Madison, Conn.) has been a consistent workhorse and winner (15 career wins) during his career and will be

asked again to make regular starts on Sundays. Nappo also had an opportunity to move on to professional baseball but chose to return to Storrs for his final season. Senior Bob Van Woert (Johnson City, N.Y.) has an-chored the non-conference portion of the Huskies’ rota-tion and has been a reliable conference spot-starter since his arrival at UConn. The senior right-hander has en-joyed a lot of success in that role going 13-6 during his career. There will be a lot of competition for the remain-ing starter roles as junior David Fischer (Scotia, N.Y.) endured some setbacks dur-ing the 2010 season but still managed to make an impact in limited innings.

Redshirt sophomore Will Jolin (Guilford, Conn.) and sophomore Pat Butler (Chatham, N.J.) both have the ability to make quality starts for the Huskies. Freshman Brian Ward (Milford, Conn.) had a productive fall and could also make his way into the rotation. Going into the 2010 season, the area with the most question marks was the Husky bullpen. That group went on to compile a 2.98 ERA and for the most part exceeded expectations. The group was led by junior stopper Scott Oberg (Tewksbury, Mass.) and junior closer Kevin Vance (Solana Beach, Calif.). Both Oberg and Vance have the mental makeup and physical ability necessary in end-of-the game pitchers. When fellow junior Nick Ahmed (East Longmeadow, Mass.) steps away from his everyday position at shortstop and toes the rubber, he arguably has the best stuff of the group. Sophomore Dan Feehan’s (Nashua, N.H.) great movement and fearless approach helped him emerge as another quality option during the 2010 season. Sophomore Ryan Moore (Bristol, Conn.) has power stuff and great athleticism to bring into the mix. Redshirt junior Ted Hurvul (Monroe,

Conn.) and redshirt sophomore Mi-chael Zaccardo (Greenwich, Conn.) will also be leaned on for quality outings out of the pen. Sophomore Steve Catalina (Wolcott, Conn.) has a big arm and will have his share of opportunities this spring, while freshmen David Mahoney (Colchester, Conn.) and Carson Cross (Brentwood, N.H.) had productive falls and will find themselves in the mix as well. Fel-low freshmen Anthony Marzi (Ber-lin, Conn.) and Kurt Marut (Wilton, Conn.) have the ability to contribute as well.

OUTFIELD

The outfield unit that played solid defense, hit a combined .353 and stole 90 bases in 2010 is back. The group is led by junior George Springer (New Britain, Conn.). Springer had another impressive spring for the Huskies in 2010 and then carried it over to a successful summer with Team USA. He was named to the NCBWA Preseason All-America Third Team as well as the Louisville Slugger Preseason First Team. Junior John Andreoli (Shrewsbury, Mass.) puts together consistent at-bats, steals bases and plays great defense. Andreoli made 58 starts in 59 games played in 2010. Along with Andreoli, redshirt sophomore Billy Ferriter (Nashua, N.H.) is a potential candidate to take over the lead-off spot in 2011. Ferriter is the former New Hampshire Gatorade Player of the Year in football and has continued his steady growth and maturity as a baseball player. Ryan Moore made strides at the plate throughout the fall and is a steady defender as well. Freshman Anthony Aceto’s (North Providence, R.I.) bat will press for time this spring as well. CATCHERS

Seniors Joe Pavone (Rochester, N.Y.) and Doug Elliot (Rocky Hill, Conn.) will again provide the Huskies with two veteran options behind the plate. Pavone is coming off a successful summer in the Cape Cod League in which he made the prestigious league’s All-Star team. Elliot swung a hot stick all fall after an All-Star campaign of his own in the NECBL. The Huskies should get more offensive production from the two backstops in 2011. Junior John Sulzicki (Stratford, Conn.) made the Prospect League All-Star team last summer, marking the sec-ond time in two years that he garnered such recognition from his summer league. He and freshman Zack Walsh (Batesville, Ind.) will serve as the other options behind the plate. Sulzicki could also provide a valuable left-handed bat off the bench. INFIELD

The infield will be without Mike Olt and Pierre LePage for the first time in three seasons. Yet, the coaching staff feels there are quality options to fill those vacant spots. The group welcomes back the pro-gram’s all time hits leader in Mike Nemeth (Washington, N.J.). Nemeth was an ABCA All-American at the con-clusion of last spring and was named a Preseason All-American for 2011 by the same publication. Co-captain and starting shortstop Nick Ahmed was an All-BIG EAST performer in 2010 and followed it up with a strong sum-mer in the Cape Cod Baseball League.

2011 season preview

Ahmed will be counted on to help set the table for the middle of the order, steal bases and continue his strong defensive play. Kevin Vance, a 2010 All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, is a candi-date to start at third base. Vance put up strong numbers at the plate last spring and will be needed in the lineup and on the mound as the Huskies’ closer. Sophomore LJ Mazzilli (Greenwich, Conn.) could be a middle of the order bat this spring and is a possible fit to take over at second base. Junior Ryan Fuller (Old Lyme, Conn.) came over from UConn-Avery Point and was impressive this fall. Fuller could very well work himself into the lineup at either third or as a designated hitter. Junior Tim Mar-tin (Stratford, Conn.) improved this fall and is another candidate for the second base job, while freshmen Tom Verdi (Warwick, R.I.) and Mike Friel (Belle Mead, N.J.) both had some success in the fall and could find themselves in the lineup with continued improvement. Freshman Kevin Solomon (Wayne, N.J.) swings a good stick from the left side and will provide depth at first base and in the outfield.

SCHEDULE

In 2011, the University of Connecticut baseball team is scheduled to play 56 regular season games in the program’s 116th season, including 16 games against teams that competed in the 2010 NCAA Tourna-ment. The 16 games will be played against nine different opponents, including Central Connecticut, College of Charleston, Louisville, Minnesota, Oregon State, St. John’s, San Diego, Southern Miss., and UC Irvine. Prior to BIG EAST competition, UConn will play three programs that won their respective conference titles in 2010 as San Diego won the West Coast Conference, Minnesota won the Big Ten and Southern Miss took home the Conference USA crown. The Huskies will play in three different time zones and 11 different states, including California, Con-necticut, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas. UConn has also scheduled 14 games against teams that finished in the top-50 RPI in 2010 as the Huskies will face California, College of Charleston, Louisville, Oregon State, St. John’s, San Diego and UC Irvine. Five of UConn’s first 13 opponents faced are on that list. Only two of those contests will be on the Huskies’ home field, resulting in a very challenging schedule on the road for the Huskies this season. UConn will host 17 games at J.O. Christian Field, two at Thomas J. Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn. and one at New Britain Stadium in New Britain, Conn. The Huskies will host five BIG EAST series in 2011 with games against Pittsburgh and St. John’s in Storrs. The Huskies will play two of their three games against Georgetown, USF and Louisville at J.O. Christian Field, while playing one contest at a minor league ballpark. The Huskies will host Georgetown on Friday, April 22 at New Britain Stadium and will take on both USF (May 7) and Louisville (May 13) at Dodd Stadium. “I believe our 2011 schedule is our toughest yet,” said head coach Jim Penders. “The Big East was rated the sixth-strongest conference in the nation last year, and we’ll have plenty of tests in February and March to prepare us for the rigors

of competing for a championship. We’re also looking forward to bringing some regular season Big East games to Norwich and New Britain with the hope that thousands of Husky fans will come out to see us under the lights in two beautiful ballparks this spring.” UConn once again begins its season at the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge as the Huskies will face Purdue, Minnesota and Michigan in Florida to start off the year. Following that trip, the Huskies will head to the College Classic (Feb. 25-27) hosted by Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, where they will face Oregon State and Indiana as well as Texas A&M - CC. The Huskies’ spring break trip in March brings them back to the west coast as they traveled there a year ago. UConn will face San Diego State, California and UC Irvine, while the University of San Diego will host four games against the Huskies in a span of five days. After returning to Connecticut to face instate-foe Sacred Heart in Bridgeport, UConn will participate in the Cougar Invitational in Mount Pleasant, S.C., where the ballclub will take on Rhode Island, College of Charleston and Southern Mississippi. Beginning on March 21, the Huskies return to New England to take on non-conference opponents Northeastern, Holy Cross and Yale. The Huskies’ home-opener against Holy Cross is set for March 22 at 3:00 p.m. BIG EAST Conference play begins on March 25 as UConn will host Pittsburgh in a three-game series at J.O. Christian Field. The following weekend UConn will host 2010 BIG EAST Tournament Champion St. John’s beginning on Friday, April 1 before a home-and-away series with Massachusetts. The Huskies head to South Bend, Ind. for a three-game series at Notre Dame on April 8 to mark their first conference road series of the season. The Huskies will face both Villanova (April 15-17) and Rutgers (April 29-May 1) on the road, while they will host Georgetown (April 21-23), USF (May 7-9) and Louisville (May 13-15) in three conference series. The Huskies conclude the 2011 regular season with its final league series on the road at Cincinnati (May 19-21). The BIG EAST Baseball Championship will once again be played in Clearwater, Fla. at Bright House Field and will take place May 25-29. The NCAA Tournament begins June 3 with regional competition.

2010 season review

The 2010 season for the University of Connecticut baseball team was one of the most suc-cessful seasons to date for the program. The Huskies tallied a program-best 48-win season as they finished the year 48-16. One of the most notable highlights of the season was when the Huskies put together a 22-game win streak, the second-best in the nation.

The Huskies were nationally ranked in 2010 for the first time since 1979 as they earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1994 and hosted the Norwich Regional at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn.

Prior to their NCAA Tournament bid, UConn battled its way into the BIG EAST Championship final game for the second straight year but fell to St. John’s 3-0. The Huskies’ earned the right to play in the postseason conference tournament as they finished the regular season in second place with a 20-6 record in the BIG EAST.

UConn began the season winning two of three games at the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge before taking three of four from Cal State Northridge as the

Huskies made their farthest road trip west in program history to California. During the Huskies’ West Coast visit, they defeated USC 5-4 in Los Angeles.

In Knoxville, Tenn., UConn faced the Vols as well as Marshall and the nationally-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. UConn picked up its first win over a ranked opponent on the year with a 5-4 victory over the No. 17 Buckeyes.

After opening BIG EAST play on the road at Louisville and dropping the first two games by one run apiece, UConn bounced back with a 6-3 victory over the nationally-ranked Cardinals, which sparked its 22-game win streak. The run for the Huskies included BIG EAST series sweeps of West Virginia, Villanova, Georgetown and Rutgers.

The Huskies downed West Virginia in each contest by four or more runs, including a dominating 14-3 victory in the series’ finale. That win sparked a four-game run with UConn registering double-figure runs in each victory, led by back-to-back wins over Massachusetts.

On April 10 against BIG EAST foe Villanova, UConn’s Greg Nappo (Madison, Conn.) pitched nine scoreless innings, giving up six hits to the Wildcats in his second career complete game shutout. The redshirt junior struck eight of the 32 batters faced.

After Central Connecticut halted UConn’s streak with a 7-3 non-conference win on April 28, the Huskies’ split their series with Pittsburgh as the final of the three-game series was cancelled due to poor weather and field conditions in the Steel City. The Huskies followed by taking 2-of-3 games from Cincinnati, USF and Seton Hall to finish with a 20-6

BIG EAST Conference record and a second-place seeding in the conference championship tournament which was held in Clearwater, Fla. for the third straight year.

To highlight UConn’s successful season, sophomore Matt Barnes began the year 7-0 from the hill before his first loss at South Florida on May 14.

In the first game of the Seton Hall series at J.O. Christian Field, junior Mike Olt led the Huskies to a 7-2 win with a career-high three home runs to set a single-season record with 20 on the year. With his record-breaking performance, Olt moved past Brian Packin’s record of 19 set in 1999.

The Branford, Conn. native finished the game with a 3-for-4 effort and four RBI. Olt finished the year with 23 home runs, while becoming UConn’s all-time home runs leader with 44 in his career.

Head Coach Jim Penders was named 2010 BIG EAST Coach of the Year. Eight members of his squad earned spots on All-BIG EAST Teams, including Matt Barnes who was named to the First Team.

Elliot Glynn, Mike Nemeth, George Springer and Kevin Vance were named to the Second Team, while Olt, the winner of the 2010 BIG EAST Home Run Derby, Pierre LePage and Nick Ahmed earned Third Team honors.

Despite falling short of the conference crown, Springer and Nemeth were named to the All-Tournament Team, along with teammates Dan Feehan and Billy Ferriter. At season’s end, Nemeth was given national recognition as he was named to the ABCA/RAWLINGS NCAA DI All-American Third Team.

Penders was also named ECAC as well as NEIBA Coach of the Year and was later tagged as the ABCA/Diamond Northeast Region Coach of the Year.

In the program’s first NCAA Tournament since the 1994 season, UConn began its quest to Omaha with a first round match-up with the Pac 10’s Oregon Ducks as the Huskies’ hosted the Norwich Regional at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn.

Despite taking a 2-0 lead early in the contest, led by a Mike Nemeth solo home run, UConn fell to Oregon 5-3. The Ducks tied the ballgame in the sixth inning with a two-run homer before scoring three runs in the top of the ninth inning to take the late-inning lead. UConn rallied in the bottom of the frame as Ahmed recorded a RBI single to left center to score LePage to cut the Ducks’ lead to two, but it wasn’t enough as Oregon’s Madison Boer re-corded the last out on his second strikeout of the night for his fourth save this season.

In UConn’s June 5 outing against in-state rival Central Connecticut, the Huskies dominated the contest, winning 25-5 to stay alive in NCAA play, recording its first NCAA Tournament win since UConn’s 4-0 shutout of St. John’s in 1979 in the District I Playoffs. In the win over

2010 season review

the Blue Devils, Olt hom-ered twice and recorded a career-high eight RBI to lead the Huskies. The Hus-kies tallied at least one run in the first six innings of the contest and registered 26 hits on the afternoon, which was a season-high.

LePage added to the Hus-kies plethora of hits as he finished the contest 3-for-6 with four RBI, while freshman LJ Mazzilli went 4-for-6 with four RBI. Springer added two hits and five runs scored along with Nemeth’s five runs, three hits and three RBI.

In their third NCAA Tourna-ment contest, UConn was

faced with the challenge of playing Oregon once again but this time in an elimination game.

Oregon took a 2-0 lead in the second inning of the contest on four hits off UConn starter Matt Barnes. Barnes finished the game allowing nine hits, four runs and three earned runs in six innings of work.

The Huskies an-swered back with one run in the third as LePage doubled down the left line to get into scoring posi-tion for Ahmed, who recorded his second hit of the ballgame with a single into center which sent LePage across the plate.

After allowing the Ducks to score an-other run in the third, Mazzilli led off the top of the fourth with a double into left field, his ninth of the season but was thrown out at the

plate on his attempt to score on a Ferriter ground ball to first.

Oregon put runners on the corners with no outs in the fifth and eventually scored an-other run to add to its lead, to make the score 4-1 after five complete innings. Ferriter led off the seventh with a walk, his 28th of the season, before he stole second and

advanced to third on a throwing error by Oregon catcher, Eddie Rodriguez. A sacrifice fly by John Andreoli scored the Husky left fielder as UConn cut the Oregon lead to two.

UConn put together a late-inning rally in the eighth as Springer led off the frame with an infield base hit. Nemeth singled before Springer advanced to third on a failed pick off attempt to put runners on the corners. Oregon’s Scott McGough was able to get out of the inning as he retired three consecutive Huskies on three straight strikeouts.

Ferriter singled to lead off the ninth before a 58-minute delay due to lightning storms. Andreoli reached base on an infield single then moved to second on a Ducks’ throwing error, putting runners in scoring position for LePage with no outs. LePage got his bar-rel on a slider and launched the ball to deep left field but it was caught at the wall by Andrew Mendenhall, who had just come into the game as a defensive replacement. Ferriter tagged up and scored the Huskies’ third run of the day but it wasn’t enough as the Ducks halted the Huskies’ come-back chances by retiring the next two batters.

The Huskies’ stranded nine runners in the ballgame and connected on 11 hits in 35 at-bats in their final game of the 2010 season.

Despite the loss, the Huskies finished the year with a record of 48-16, battling to a pro-gram-best 48-win season. The Huskies’ accumulated numerous accolades during the season, including their recent accomplishments during NCAA Tournament action. Olt became UConn’s all-time home runs leader as he hit two against Central Connecticut for his 43rd and 44th career home runs. Nemeth became UConn’s career leader in hits and doubles as he finished the year with 238 hits and 55 doubles. LePage finished his junior season one hit shy (237) of Nemeth’s career hits record.

The Norwich Regional at Dodd Stadium ended with a 5-3 Florida State victory over Oregon. Two Huskies were named to the Norwich All-Tournament Team with LePage getting the nod at second base and Mazzilli earning the spot as the designated hitter.

After the 2010 season, three Huskies were drafted in the Major League Baseball Draft, including current UConn captain, Elliot Glynn.

After completing his junior season, Mike Olt was the first Husky selected in the 2010 draft, being picked as the 49th overall pick by the Texas Rangers. Pierre LePage was next as he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 13th round.

Glynn was drafted in the 49th round by the San Diego Padres, a team which took former Husky closer, David Erickson, in the 2009 draft. Trent DeLazzer also earned a spot in the pros, as he signed a professional baseball contract with the Traverse City Beach Bums of the Frontier League.

For their efforts in 2010, Nemeth, Barnes, Springer and Olt were named to the ABCA Northeast Region First Team as well as the All-New England First Team. Glynn, Ahmed and LePage were named to the All-New England Second Team, while Glynn was tagged with ABCA Northeast Regional Second Team honors.

The UConn baseball team also had nine student-athletes earn a spot on the BIG EAST All-Academic Team as former Huskies Kyle Burns, Ryan Thompson and LePage led that charge. Joining them were Doug Elliot, Joe Pavone and Will Jolin, along with Ahmed, Barnes and Vance.

Jim Penders is in his eighth season as head baseball coach after taking over for longtime Husky coach Andy Baylock in 2004. Penders, a 1994 graduate of the Univer-sity of Connecticut, was a member of Baylock’s most successful teams. Penders’ teams qualified for three BIG EAST Tournaments (1992-94) with all three teams advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament Final. Penders captained the 1994 squad that captured the BIG EAST Tournament Championship. The 1993 and 1994 teams advanced to the NCAA Regional with the 1993 team earning only the second at-large berth in the history of the BIG EAST Conference. In Penders’ four-year playing career, his teams tallied a record of 99-76-2. After graduating, Penders moved to Washington D.C. where he was a fundraiser for Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. Penders returned to UConn in 1997 to become an assistant coach and take over the Husky recruiting efforts. Since he took over as head coach at UConn, Penders has compiled an overall record of 244-164-2.

Larry Panciera was a member of the UConn athletics staff for 30 years. Panciera served as head coach of baseball at Connecticut for 18 years (1962-1979). He compiled a 297-160-5 record as head coach, was named NCAA New England Coach-of-the-Year six times and led Connecticut to the College World Series three times (1965, 1972, 1979). In 1979, his final Husky team recorded 31 wins as the Huskies won both the ECAC Division I New England Championship and the NCAA Northeast Region title to advance to the College World Series for the fifth time in school history. In his final year of coaching, Panciera was honored as the 1979 NCAA Northeast Regional Coach of the Year. At Connecticut, Panciera was part of all five of UConn’s trips to the NCAA College World Series, twice as an assistant in 1957 and 1959, and three times as head coach in 1965, 1972 and 1979. During his tenure as head coach, 40 student-athletes who played for Panciera at Connecticut went on to sign professional baseball contracts. He spent his retirement years at his home in the Weekapaug section of Westerly, R.I., before passing away on September 8, 1998, at the age of 76. He was survived by his two sons, David and Michael.

J.O. Christian began coaching football and baseball at UConn in 1934 following an eight-year term as head coach of all sports at Eveleth College, where his football team compiled a fantastic record, losing only one game from 1929 to 1933. His baseball nines were in the NCAA College World Series in 1957 and 1959; and his 1958 club lost the chance when it bowed out to Holy Cross, 2-1, in 10 innings in a game for the New England representation. The 1959 team (rated by Christian as his best ever) had a 20-1 record, being undefeated in New England competition. He won nine out of 14 Yankee Conference pen-nants and two New England titles. His baseball teams recorded 258 wins, 170 losses and seven ties. During his 16 years as head football coach, he led his Huskies to 66-51-4 overall record. He served as interim basketball coach for part of the 1936 season. The Connecticut Alumni Association’s Outstanding Service Award “as the man who has done the most for the University” was presented him in 1945 and again in 1959. He also received the “Gold Key”, given by the Connecticut Sportswriters Alliance (1959) for outstanding contribution in Connecticut state sports. On April 29, 1960, the UConn Club presented “Christy” its annual outstanding contribution award. He was president of the American Association of College Baseball Coaches in 1960; and chairman of the NCAA District One Baseball Selection Committee, completing his term in 1958. He is in the ABCA Hall of Fame. His active coaching career began in 1926 at Eveleth (Minn.) Junior College and included 28 years at the University of Connecticut, all as head baseball coach.A native of Roland, Iowa, he was educated in Wilmar, Minn., schools, and attended Hamline University and the University of Minnesota. Christian passed away on October 21, 1979, at the age of 81. He and his wife Corinne had three daughters, Marion, Anne, and Claire.

Andy Baylock retired in 2003 after 24 years at the helm of the baseball program. In January of 1996, Baylock was honored with induction into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame at the national convention in Nashville, Tenn. Baylock’s tenure was the winningest period in the illustrious history of Connecticut Baseball, leading the UConn program to 556 wins over his 24 seasons, averaging over 23 wins per season during his tenure. Baylock’s 24th season as the head coach of the Huskies was his 39th year of consecutive service to the Husky baseball program. Prior to the start of his head coaching career, Baylock spent 15 years as the top assistant coach to then-head coach Larry Panciera and also served as head freshman football coach. When Baylock’s assistant coaching tenure is taken into account, he has been part of an overall UConn record of 812-614-11 during the past 39 seasons. The New Britain, Conn., native has personally coached 1,447 of the 2,327 games (62 percent) that have ever been played involving the University of Connecticut baseball program. In the summers of 1985 and 1989, Baylock was the pitching coach for the U.S. Senior National Team that competed against other national teams in the United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Japan, Korea and Canada. He also was pitching coach for the U.S. squad that finished second in the International Harbor Tournament in Taiwan in the fall of 1988. A graduate of Central Connecticut State University, Baylock and his wife, Barbara, reside in Mansfield Center and have three children, all of whom attended the University of Connecticut - Jennifer, Jeffrey and Andrea. He remains at UConn as the Director of Alumni and Community Relations for the UConn football program.

The UConn baseball program has had several players, as well as former head coach Andy Baylock, involved with Team USA and USA Baseball. Most recently, current UConn players George Springer and Matt Barnes played for the USA Collegiate Baseball Team during the 2010 summer. Barnes was 3-0 and held an ERA of 1.42. In 19 innings of work, he allowed three earned runs, while striking out 26 batters, which was second-best on the team. Springer led Team USA with seven doubles, 34 total bases and 18 RBI. He batted .292 in 18 games, while adding 21 hits, 12 runs and two home runs. His grand slam against Japan in July lifted USA to a 4-2 win to advance to the gold medal game of the V FISU World University Baseball Championship. In the winter of 1999, former Husky All-American and 1988 Olympic Gold Medalist Charles Nagy was named to the 15-member All-Time USA Baseball team. Among other players named to the same team were former major leaguers Nomar Garciaparra, Mark McGwire, Robin Ventura and Will Clark. Husky catcher Brian Esposito trained with the United States Baseball program, joining the squad for USA Baseball tryouts in June of 1999. Former Husky standout Jason Grabowski made two appearances at USA Baseball Camps in 1995, joining the program for USA Baseball tryouts in June and then attending the 1995 Fall Baseball Trials in November in Homestead, Fla. In November of 1994, Grabowski and pitcher Mike Galati joined the long line of Huskies to train or compete with the United States National Baseball program. The pair joined a select group of 72 players invited to participate in the USA Baseball National Fall Trials in Homestead, Fla., from November 2-6, 1994. The purpose of the trials was to select possible players for the 1995 and 1996 national teams. Connecticut was the only school from the Northeast represented and was one of only 16 Division I schools across the nation to be represented by two or more players. In the summer of 1993, former Husky John Kelly was a member of the USA Baseball squad that represented the country in Nicaragua at the Pan American Qualifier for the 1994 World Championships. Kelly finished his stint with the team with a record of 2-0 and a 2.81 ERA. In 1988, Connecticut had a trio of performers for USA Baseball. Charles Nagy was a member of the USA Baseball team that traveled to the 1988 Seoul Olympics and captured the gold medal. Nagy made 19 appearances for Team USA in 1988, going 3-1 with a 1.05 ERA and a team-leading six saves. He appeared in two games in the Olympics, pitching 2.0 innings and earning a save. UConn was also well-represented on the fall 1988 USA team that finished second at the Kaohsiung International Harbor Baseball Tournament in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Former Husky All-New England shortstop Brian Specyalski appeared in seven of the eight games for the team, while former UConn coach Andy Baylock served as pitching coach for the Team USA squad. Baylock has served three stints with Team USA as a pitching coach, in 1985, fall of 1988 and 1989. Not only did UConn represent the USA in the Olympics but also Greece as Peter Soteropoulos played for the Greek Olympic team during the 2004 games in Athens. Soteropoulos threw for 7.2 innings, while allowing four earned runs and striking out two.

hUskies in the pros

The University of Connecticut baseball program has sent many players on to the profes-sional ranks. In all, a total of 138 players have been drafted by professional clubs or signed free agent contracts.

Former Husky All-American and 1988 United States Olympic gold medalist Charles Nagy completed 14 full seasons as a starting pitcher with the Cleveland Indians and in 2010 was named the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2003, Nagy was hired

by the Indians to serve as a special assistant to general manager Mark Shapiro. In 2005, he took a position as the pitching coach of the Salt Lake City Bees of the Pacific Coast League. In 1992, Nagy emerged as one of the bright new pitchers in all of the major leagues. He finished the year with a 17-10 record and a 2.96 ERA. For his efforts, he was named to the American League All-Star team. He pitched one perfect inning in the All-Star game and also col-lected a hit. He also threw a one-hitter on August 8, 1992, against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. After suffering a shoulder

injury in 1993, Nagy made a successful return to the Indians starting rotation in 1994 and was a major component in the Indians' run to the 1995 American League Championship and a visit to the World Series. In 1996, Nagy earned his second trip to the Major League All-Star game and was the starting pitcher for the American League. In 1997, Nagy contributed to the Cleveland Indians’ second visit in three years to the World Series and made an appearance in Game 7 of the series against the Florida Marlins. In 1999, Nagy was selected to his third American League All-Star game and helped pitch Cleveland to another Central Division title.

One of the most prominent Husky major leaguers was the late Walt Dropo, who played 13 seasons in the majors and was the American League Rookie-of-the-Year in 1950 with the Boston Red Sox. He still holds the major league record for consecutive hits with 12, set during the 1952 season with the Detroit Tigers.

Former Husky Bob Schaefer is also a well-known name in major league circles. As a Husky, Schaefer led the nation in home runs in 1966, with seven homers in only 18 games. In 2007, he served as the bench coach for the Oakland Athletics. From 2008 through 2010 he has sat beside Joe Torre as the bench coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Currently he is the special assistant to the General Manager with the Washington Nationals.

He previously served as a Major League scout with the Baltimore Orioles, as a special adviser to Atlanta Braves General Manager, John Schuerholz, as the Director of Player Development for the Boston Red Sox and as a coach with the Kansas City Royals, as he served two stints as interim manager with the club. George Greer was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals after he graduated in 1968 and went on and played in the minors at Single-A Modesto (Calif.) for five years until 1973. He began his coaching career at UConn-Avery Point then went to Davidson before a 17-year career at Wake Forest and is now a minor league hitting instructor with the New York Mets organization.

Jason Grabowski made his major league debut in 2002 with the Oakland Athletics. He received a call up on Sept. 3. Grabowski spent part of the 2004 and 2005 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2006, Grabowski played for the Orix Buffaloes of Japan, and in 2007, received an invitation to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ spring training camp.

As of January 2011, Jeff Fulchino, Brian Esposito and Jesse Carlson represent the UConn

Huskies in Major League Baseball. Esposito was a member of the Memphis Redbirds after playing several seasons in the Texas Rangers system and in 2007, he moved up to the Major Leagues to play with the St. Louis Cardinals. He currently plays for the Houston Astros.

Carlson is currently a member of the Toronto Blue Jays and has posted a record of 8-8 with a 3.63 ERA and 114 strikeouts in three seasons. Fulchino has made 124 appearances in the majors, including 111 in two seasons with the Houston Astros. With the Astros, Fulchino is 8-5 with 117 strikeouts and a 4.18 ERA.

Former Huskies that are in the minor leagues include Erik Turgeon (New York Mets), Tim Norton (New York Yankees), Mike Tarsi (Minnesota Twins), Dan Mahoney (Florida Marlins), Dusty Odenbach (Kansas City Royals), Peter Fatse (Milwaukee Brewers), Harold Brantley, Jr. (Florida Marlins), Pierre LePage (Chicago Cubs) and Mike Olt (Texas Rangers).

Three former Huskies are also playing in the independent leagues. John Kelly, Trent DeLazzer and Matt McDonald all play for ball clubs in the independent leagues.

the history of UConn BaseBall

Now in its third century, the UConn Baseball program is traditionally successful and nationally recognized in NCAA Division I competition. To maintain this degree of excellence, there is a continuous search for the outstanding scholar-athlete who demonstrates the potential to meet the challenge at Storrs. A University of Connecticut player is supplied with the best available equipment, including four different-style uniforms. He plays on an enclosed diamond that is constantly groomed and improved by a full-time grounds crew that keeps the field in the best possible condition at all times. The batting/pitching building adjacent to the field is an absolutely outstanding asset. The travel accommodations throughout the course of the season are always first class, as is every other aspect of the program. Additional support comes from a trainer, team doctor, a consulting optometrist, academic advisor, equipment managers, baseball administration assistants, athletic communications office and statewide media, including campus radio station WHUS-FM. In addition to beautiful J.O. Christian Field, excellent facilities for year-round training and development are provided which include the building at J.O. Christian Field, a weight training center, racquetball courts, indoor workout areas, the use of an outdoor Astroturf field and the indoor Mark Shenkman training center for pre-season workouts. Video equipment and sophisticated training devices are used for individual development. When classes begin in August, an all important six-week evaluation-instruction-competition program is conducted for all UConn baseball candidates. The coaching staff assesses talent, work habits and readiness in determining the 35-player depth chart for the coming spring campaign. A prospective candidate enrolled at Storrs and not competing in a fall sport must be evaluated in the fall to be considered for a spot on the

spring roster. Rookies attend a mandated evening study hall all year long. Throughout the entire year, a weight training, conditioning and nutrition program is conducted along with baseball specific workouts for the athletes. Spring begins in earnest the first week of February for UConn players as they go through several weeks of intensive pre-season training and instruction. The 56-game schedule begins with weekend regional trips, where the Huskies play against outstanding teams from around the country. UConn begins the spring recess with a trip to a warm weather destination and finishes the recess with its first BIG EAST series of the season. After the regular season is completed, there is always a strong possibility that the Huskies will be participating in the eight-team BIG EAST Conference Tournament, the winner representing the BIG EAST Conference in the 64-team NCAA Tournament field. The eight super regional winners from across the United States participate in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The cost of attending the University of Connecticut is reasonable. Financial aid is available to families demonstrating need as determined by the Financial Aid Form (FAF) and the Financial Aid Office. Financial aid based on athletic ability is available in accordance with NCAA allowances. The UConn baseball program is designed to develop players in a progressive manner in preparation for Division I competition while never losing sight of the basic priority - formal education and a baccalaureate degree. This priority is constantly stressed to the participants and accommodations to meet educational goals are set. The University of Connecticut Baseball program has come a long way in 115 years of preparing young men for competition in the real world with competition on the ballfield.

. . . Passed Down Through the Ages The coaching staff for the 2011 Huskies is a link to many UConn successes in both the recent and not-so-recent past. Head Coach Jim Penders enters his eighth season in charge of the Husky baseball program after playing for four years at Connecticut. The last three years Penders was on the team, the Huskies advanced to the BIG EAST Tournament Championship Game, with the 1994 side capturing the title. Penders was a member of the coaching staff for seven seasons under former Husky head coach Andy Baylock. Baylock retired after serving the baseball program for 39 years including 24 years as the head coach. Baylock got his start as an assistant under former head coach Larry Panciera, who started his coaching career under the legendary J.O. Christian in the 1950’s. The tradition of excellence has been passed from the coaching staff down to the players. And those players have now come back as coaches to help pass the torch to a

new generation of Huskies. Penders is the son of James E. Penders and nephew of Tom Penders, both of whom were leaders of the 1965 Husky squad that went to the College World Series under coach Panciera. Eighth-year assistant coach Chris Podeszwa graduated from UConn in 1993 and played on UConn’s 1990 BIG EAST Championship team and third-year assistant coach Steven Malinowski played for the Huskies for two seasons. It is a tradition of success that has been passed down through the ages and this season’s edition of the Huskies will look to write a new chapter in the history of Connecticut Baseball.

HOME OF THE HUSKIES

The University of Connecticut baseball program had a lot to look forward to in the 2008 season. J.O. Christian Field was given a new look in the fall of 2007, as new fencing and stadium padding around the entire field was added. This renovation included two brand new 30-foot foul poles as well as new dimensions to the fencing all around the field. J.O. Christian Field still features permanent bleacher seating behind home plate and along the first and third base lines. Crowds at J.O. Christian Field have been in excess of 2,000 fans. J.O. Christian Field also features a fully electronic scoreboard in right field. A permanent press box along with new and extended bleacher seating were added to the facility before the 1993 season.

UConn's batting and pitching facility, which was opened in 1997, has also been given an upgrade as brand new turf and netting was installed in the summer of 2007. Restored team photos and awards have been put on display to highlight past teams and individuals while new professional presentations of professional baseball playing alumni are also showcased around the facility. The 40-foot by 80-foot indoor pitching and batting facility is located adjacent to J.O. Christian Field. The building, heated, well-lit and available for year-round use by Husky players, provides two pitching and batting tunnels with ample space for practicing, working and coaching.

In the summer of 2008, an extensive renovation of the Huskies' clubhouse was completed. The Dugout Club funded the project, which consists of open oak stall lockers, new carpeting, a flat screen television and a couch for the enjoyment of the players.

Since the 2009 season, both dugouts were enhanced with overhead heat lamps and padded/netted railings. The project also included new permanent bench seating. Both dugouts were doubled in size and made safer for the 2010 campaign. A brand new state-of-the-art scoreboard was also installed prior to the Huskies' home opener in March 2010. In the fall of 2010, a video system was installed at the field, allowing for three different angles of every pitch to be captured by three permanently affixed weather-proof cameras.

J.O. Christian Field The University of Connecticut baseball team plays its home games at J.O. Christian Field, one of the finest collegiate baseball facilities in the region.

Named for the longtime baseball coach (1936-61) and athletic director (1950-66), J. Orlean Christian, the field’s dimensions, changed for 2008, are currently 337’ down the left field line, 400’ to straight-away centerfield and 325' down the line in right field. Regrading, resurfacing and irrigation of the outfield was completed in the fall of 2001.

The infield at J.O. Christian Field is made of Crimson Stone. A new drainage system with electric pumps was installed in 1999. In addition, padded fencing completely surrounds the field and within the perimeter, a crushed stone warning track. There is also a tarpaulin for rain protection.

Husky baseball players are able to work out with UConn’s ProBatter hitting machine. Connecticut was one of the first two intercollegiate programs in the country to have the cutting edge pitching simulator, which has a video screen with a life-size pitcher and can throw seven pitches at various speeds.

In the winter of 2004, the University of Connecticut became only the second intercollegiate baseball team in the nation to acquire a ProBatter hitting machine. The ProBatter® Professional baseball system is a true-to-life baseball pitching simulator for use at any level. The system includes a video component that permits a hitter to observe the life-size image of an actual pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch which is thrown through the video screen by a computer controlled pitching module. This module is capable of interchangeably creating any pitch (fastball, sinker, cutter, splitter, curve, slider, and change-up) that a pitcher can throw, at speeds up to 100 MPH. Pitch speeds can be varied in increments of two MPH, and thrown to predetermined locations both inside and outside the strike zone with pinpoint accuracy. The ProBatter® Professional baseball system is as close as possible to real-life Major League pitching—its simulated reality and amazing precision can sharpen hitting skills like no pitching machine has ever done. It offers:» “Live” pitcher simulation. A combination of life-sized images of actual pitchers throwing realistic pitches, all integrated through computer controls. In a unique process that is the subject of a number of pending patent applications, the ball is delivered through the screen in perfect synchronization with the video image.» Deliver any pitch at any speed. Pitches include fastballs, sinkers, cutters, curveballs, sliders, changeups and screwballs from both right handed and left handed pitchers in 2 MPH increments to multiple locations both inside and outside the strike zone. a» Incredible accuracy. Pitches are delivered consistently to the desired location within 2 inches.» Full range of pitcher options. On-screen pitchers can be either left handed or right handed and throw from either a full windup or stretch position to simulate actual game conditions.» Ultimate convenience. The ProBatter Professional baseball system is ready whenever you need or want a batting practice session. It throws Major League pitches under game like condi-tions without ever getting tired. » Manual and automatic modes. Pitch sequencing can be estab-lished on either a pitch by pitch basis using an easy touch-screen controller to set pitch type, speed and location. Sequences can also be programmed and stored for future uses. » Specific Pitcher Sequences. A profiling service is available to deliver pitches of actual Major League pitchers. The ProBatter system is not only a tool for hitters, but has been used successfully to train catchers to properly receive and frame pitches, block pitches in the dirt, and work on their throwing footwork. In addition, it has been used to train pitchers how to set up hitters without any arm strain. The ProBatter Professional baseball pitching system was thoroughly tested with two Major League clubs and an elite training academy run by a former Major League manager before its introduction in late 2000.

The University of Connecticut baseball program opened the Batting & Pitching Facility in 1997. Located just steps from J.O. Christian Field, the building includes two pitching and batting tunnels, and houses UConn’s ProBatter hitting machine. With such a facility, the Huskies can practice and train year-round.

In the summer of 2010, a new netting system was installed. An exterior renovation was completed shortly before the start of the 2011 season as a fresh paint job and new signage have dressed up the facility.

Thanks to alumnus Mark R. Shenkman, the University of Connecticut joins the ranks of major universities nationwide with an indoor training facility that is utilized by all Husky teams and also by recreational services. Shenkman’s $2.5 million gift, one of the largest ever to the UConn Division of Athletics, helped to build an intercollegiate, intramural and recreational facility that serves the entire UConn community. The 85,000 square foot Mark R. Shenkman Training Center rivals similar facilities at other large universities. Featuring a 120-yard long synthetic playing surface, an 18,000 square foot strength and conditioning area and state-of-the-art video capabili-ties, the indoor training center provides UConn’s teams with the most technologi-cally advanced training equipment. The UConn baseball team uses the facility primarily to work on its defensive drills. Thanks to the luxurious spatial con-fines provided by the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, the Huskies can recreate a full infield diamond and a good portion of the outfield in order to facilitate their practice needs. The University contracted with the Hartford-based firm of Jeter, Cook and Jepson and with HOK Sport + Venue + Event, an internationally-renowned archi-tectural firm based in Kansas City, to provide architectural and engineering services for the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The Mark R. Shenkman Training Center became the University’s first

project certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. LEED designation is a process certifying that a building project meets a wide range of environmentally friendly criteria. The new construction marks the first college or university athletic project in the nation to earn the designation. A resident of Greenwich, Conn, Shenkman graduated from the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from UConn in 1965

followed by a master’s degree in business administration from The George Washing-ton University. Shenkman is the founder and presi-dent of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor with offices in New York City and Stamford, Conn. He has served on the UConn Foun-dation’s Board of Directors for eight years and has been a member of its investment committee. Shenkman was elected to the UConn School of Business Hall of Fame in 2002 and has endowed a classroom and the e-Commerce Chair for the business school. Groundbreaking for the Mark R. Shenk-man Training Center took place in the fall of 2004, with the doors opening in the summer of 2006.

a BiG east Contender

UConn appeared in three out of the last four BIG EAST Championship title games. In the last five seasons, the Huskies have played in 19 BIG EAST Tournament games, the most in any four-year span in program history.

reGional doMinanCe

UConn has more wins than any other Division I team in New England since 2004 as the Huskies have averaged over 34 wins per season, helped by a program-best 48-win season in 2010.

In 2010, the Huskies made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since the 1994 sea-son and hosted the Norwich Regional at Thomas J. Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn. June 4-6.

The 2010-11 academic year is the 32nd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 year is the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2009-10 year was no different.

Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Award as the nation’s top female student-athlete. She also was named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American of the Year for women’s basketball. Moore was the fifth BIG EAST women’s student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Award.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its second straight national championship and its seventh overall crown. The Vil-lanova women’s cross country team also won the NCAA title. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup for the second straight year. The Syracuse women’s lacrosse squad reached the Final Four. On the men’s side, West Virginia’s basketball team became the BIG EAST’s 16th team to reach the NCAA Final Four and won the conference’s academic achievement award. The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA championship game.

Individually, three BIG EAST student-athletes won NCAA titles. Cincinnati’s Josh Schneider won the 50 freestyle in men’s swimming. In track, Louisville’s D’Ana McCarty repeated as the NCAA indoor winner in the weight throw. Louisville’s Matt Hughes won the 3,000 steeplechase. Another Cardinal, Austen Childs, was the national runner-up in men’s tennis singles.

BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Cincinnati won its second straight league championship in 2009 and compiled an undefeated regular season. The Bearcats finished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record. Rutgers, one of the bowl winners, also was recognized for having the nation’s high-est NCAA APR rating, which measures academic success.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who are at the forefront of athletic and academic achieve-ment. In 2009-10, 22 BIG EAST players from 10 schools were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams. Over 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began compet-ing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Phila-delphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 28 national championships in six different sports and 128 stu-dent-athletes have won individual national titles. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first con-ference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Con-necticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 12 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 11 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continu-ally turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST had one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair and con-tinued to steer the conference on its path of success. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past seven years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

More than 575 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Sev-eral athletes earned gold medals. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

THE UCONN DUGOUT CLUB The UConn Dugout Club is a group of friends of the University of Connecticut baseball team and aims to enhance the entire program with integrity while acting in the best interest of the University. The Club ex-ists at the pleasure of the coach and the Athletic Administration. Established in 1991, as a booster club, the organization has grown from 19 founders to include over 500 active members. The Dugout Club is UConn Baseball’s “Margin of Excellence”. The efforts of the membership have enabled the Husky program to benefit from a widely enhanced scholarship base, some of the best training facilities on the East Coast and first-class travel accommodations. The UConn Dugout Club was conceived as a means (1) to enhance the UConn baseball program in achieving consistent respect as a viable member of the BIG EAST Conference and (2) to provide its members opportunities to socialize at Storrs and to be kept abreast of the latest UConn baseball news.

MEMBERSHIP Membership is open to anyone interested in supporting the efforts of UConn Baseball and the Dugout Club. Members are invited to attend the fall and winter socials, an annual golf day and meetings throughout the year. Also, in exchange for their dues, members receive club pins, several informative baseball newsletters and UConn Baseball souvenirs. Most importantly, members gain the satisfaction of adding to the “Margin of Excellence” by being an active ingredient in continuing the 100+ years of UConn Baseball’s winning tradition. Good rallies always start in the DUGOUT! To become a member of the Dugout Club, call the Athletic Development Office at (860) 486-3863.

RankeD among the top 30 public univeRsities in the countRyFor the 12th consecutive year, U.S. News and World Report ranked UConn the top public university in New England and among the top 30 public universities in the nation. The Fiske Guide to Colleges declares, “Quality teaching is the trade-mark of a UConn education.” Bolstered by this national recognition and academic prestige, the value of a UConn degree continues to soar.

21st-centuRy amenitiesNow is a tremendously exciting time to attend UConn. A $2.8 billion landmark building program is dramatically transform-ing the places where students live, learn, and enjoy life. Through new construction and renovation, UConn offers the latest innovations nationally in university hous-ing and dining and extensive recreational complexes. Classrooms and laboratories are being built at a remarkable rate, plac-ing our facilities at the forefront of public higher education and propelling UConn to a position of national prominence.

the Right FitWith a student/faculty ratio of 18:1, 21,496 undergraduate students receive personal attention and tailored academic advis-ing. UConn also offers the opportunities of a premier research university, such as hands-on experience working in labs with professors who not only teach our courses, but who also are on the cutting edge of in-novation and discovery.

WoRlD-class FacultyFrom writers and scientists to human rights activists and historians, our more than 1,300 full-time faculty members are com-mitted to classroom teaching. Fostering a dynamic learning environment, they share research opportunities with high-achieving undergraduates. Our faculty include Eng-lish professor Regina Barreca, whose humor appears in nationally published columns. Amii Omara-Otunnu, holder of the first and only UNESCO chair in human rights in the United States, provides pivotal leadership for the UConn-African National Congress Partnership.

Whether your long-range goals are preparing for a career, pursuing a graduate degree, or attending medical or law school, “students can receive a stellar education without graduating with a mountain of debt”. UConn has a variety of programs to help many students financially, ranging from merit scholarship opportunities to need-based financial aid packages, all de-signed to support a large number of quali-fied students. The University also has many part-time campus jobs with flexible hours that help students earn extra spending money or build their résumé with hands-on work experience.
