The ones you should attend:
Men's and Women's Tennis: UConn vs. Villanova, Saturday, 12 p.m., UConn Tennis Courts:
Both UConn tennis teams will celebrate Senior Day as the Huskies wrap up their regular seasons together on Saturday with home matches against Villanova. The men's team will honor co-captains Joey Michaels and Ben Schueler, while the women's team will honor captain BreAnn Cheung and Allison Koch.
The matches against the Wildcats will provide a last chance for both teams to tune up before heading south to take part in the Big East Championship, which begins Apr. 16 in Tampa, Fla., for both men's and women's tennis.
Softball: UConn vs. Notre Dame, Saturday 11 a.m., 1 p.m. (Doubleheader), Connecticut Softball Field.
The Huskies (23-11, 7-5 Big East) are getting hot at the right time, having won their past nine games, pushing them into a three-way tie for fifth place in the Big East with South Florida and St. John's. This weekend, UConn will welcome third-place Notre Dame (24-13, 8-3) and its high-powered offense to Storrs for a critical series. In their past seven games, the Fighting Irish have been held under seven runs just once - in a 5-2 win against second-place DePaul on April 8.
