UConn hosting 2011 subregionals

Gampel Pavilion will host the first and second rounds of the 2011 NCAA tournament, marking the 18th time Storrs will be a site of a women's NCAA subregional.

Beginning with the program's first NCAA tournament appearance in 1989, UConn opened play in the NCAA tournament on campus 15 straight years until the Huskies were forced to drive all the way to Bridgeport for the first and second round games in 2004.

This season will be the first time that UConn will not have at least one NCAA tournament game in the state of Connecticut.

Cities chosen to host 2011 subregionals are Albuquerque, New Mexico; Auburn, Alabama; Charlottesville, Virginia; Cincinnati; College Park, Maryland; Columbus, Ohio; Durham, North Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee; Salt Lake City, Utah; Spokane, Washington; Shreveport, Louisiana; Stanford, California; Storrs; University Park, Pennsylvania; Waco, Texas; and Wichita, Kansas. Eight of the subregionals are scheduled to be played on Mar. 21 and 23 with the other eight set for Mar. 22 and 24.

The four regionals are in Dayton, Ohio, Philadelphia, Dallas and Spokane, Washington while the 2011 Final Four being held in Indianapolis.
