The one to attend

Women's soccer vs. Yale, Sunday 2 p.m.

The women's soccer team is on a hot streak. After dropping their first two matches, the Huskies have won four in a row - including an upset win over nationally-ranked Wake Forest. They've done all this without Annie Yi, their leading scorer of the last two years. A lot of new, young talent has stepped up and the Huskies look good so far this season.

The one to listen to

Football vs. Baylor, Saturday 5 p.m. WTIC

After a heartbreaking loss, the Huskies will not get a break when they head to Waco, Texas to play Baylor in what is the longest road trip in program history. The game is not televised, so the only way to follow it is on the radio. It will not be an easy rebound for the Huskies as Baylor has one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in Robert Griffin. Cody Endres will get the start under center for the Huskies in place of the injured Zach Frazer.

The ones to follow up on

Men's soccer vs. Villanova, Friday 4 p.m.

The men's soccer team opens its conference schedule this weekend having not scored a goal in three games. Thanks to good defense and the goal tending of Josh Ford, the Huskies have only lost one of those games. But with a showdown against Big East powerhouse St. John's looming in the distance, UConn will have to get its offense back on track this weekend.

Men's tennis at The Brown Invitational - All weekend

The men's tennis team has gotten off to a quick start this fall with a 2-0 record in the early going. Junior Andrew Marcus has lead the way in the No. 1 singles spot with two victories of his own. The Huskies will get a chance to show if they are as real as their record in Rhode Island this weekend.
