The UConn Athletic Communications department released the following statement about the UConn Huskies women’s basketball teams participation in tonight’s festivities at Fenway Park before the Boston Red Sox game.

Boston Red SoxDue to an unforeseen conflict, the UConn women’s basketball team will not be participating in the first pitch ceremony at Fenway tonight.  The team feels awful as it would have been a great moment for UConn and we have apologized to the Red Sox.  The men are still scheduled to head up there and hopefully the Red Sox will consider having us at a later date.
