STORRS --  After falling short of a NCAA bid last season, the UConn Huskies baseball team started their 2018 campaign with a bitter taste on their tongues.

The Huskies (35-20; 14-10 AAC) finished the 2018 season with the same conference record they finished with last year.

But this season, the No. 21 UConn baseball team was selected to 2018 NCAA Championship where they will begin play in the Conway, S.C. Regional, hosted by Coastal Carolina University.

The Huskies were selected as the No. 2 seed and will begin their quest for a NCAA title against No. 3 Washington Huskies on Friday, June 1 at 12 p.m. This will be UConn's  20th NCAA Tournament appearance and fifth appearance since 2010
