Stonehill College will be facing UConn in a Nov. 6 exhibition game at Gampel Pavilion at 7 p.m.

It will be the second straight year that the Huskies will face a Division II team in the preseason after facing the then-defending Division II national champion Southern Connecticut State squad.

Stonehill is coming off a 27-5 season including a sweep of the Northeast-10 Conference regular-season and tournament titles. Junior All-American forward/center Kelsey Simonds and senior forward Kelly Tighe, the Skyhawks' top two scorers last season, lead the list of returning players.

UConn will likely face a barnstorming team of pro players in its other exhibition game. Barring any late issues with the television contracts, UConn's schedule is expected to be released by the middle of next week.
