The one you should attend:
Baseball: St. John's vs. UConn, Today, 3 p.m. at J.O. Christian Field
Work off that first night-Spring Weekend hangover with a trip to UConn's baseball field and watch the Huskies take on divisional rival St. John's.
The Huskies have been sporadic with their scoring and are capable of exploding offensively in any game.
But on the other end of things, the Red Storm had a four-game stretch earlier this season in which they scored 50 runs.
Hopefully, both teams show up to play and you'll witness an offensive clinic.
Softball: Villanova vs. UConn, Sunday, 12 and 2 p.m. at the Connecticut Softball Field
Another Big East rival comes to town, as Villanova takes on the Huskies in a double header on Sunday.
Micah Truax leads the Huskies with seven home-runs on the season while Danielle Del Ponte has knocked in a team-high 25 RBIs.
The one you should follow up on:
Women's Rowing, Big East Tournament, Saturday, 7 a.m. at Camden, N.J.
While most of the students at UConn will be enjoying Spring Weekend, the rowing team will be participating in the Big East Championships.
In the history of the championship, only Syracuse and Notre Dame have won the title.
UConn hopes to be only the third team to have captured a Big East Title.
