The UConn softball team will wrap up their 2026 fall ball schedule on Sunday, Oct. 12, with a doubleheader against Quinnipiac. Game one is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. with game two following. Both will take place at Burrill Family Field in Storrs. It will be UConn’s last game action before the 2026 spring season. For the Huskies, the matchup will be head coach Laura Valentino’s last chance to evaluate the pitching staff in in-game action before spring.
