UConn, Louisville to Face Off in Armed Forces Classic

The UConn women's ice hockey team is gearing up for a two-game series against Northeastern, with the first game scheduled for Friday at home and the second on Saturday in Boston. Historically, UConn has an impressive record against Northeastern, but they faced challenges during a long losing streak from 2011 to 2023, which they broke last season. Meanwhile, UConn and Louisville are set to make history by participating in the first women's college basketball matchup of the Armed Forces Classic in Germany on November 4, 2025, a game that will be broadcasted on ESPN. Both teams, led by coaches Geno Auriemma and Jeff Walz, expressed their excitement about honoring military personnel through this event. This matchup will showcase women's basketball on an international platform, following the tradition of previous Armed Forces Classics held in various locations since 2012. UConn enters the basketball season ranked No. 2 and Louisville at No. 17, highlighting the significance of this early-season challenge.
