It’s tiresome when people in TX, FL and CA call every team not from their conference overrated. UConn is off to a good start. They’ve beaten some good teams. Starting off the season beating Louisville two of three draws positive attention. They’re 3-2 against ranked teams.
Last year they were 37-22. They beat ranked #13 Coastal to get to their regional final against Washington. They were one game from a Super Series.
Fairfield is in third place in their low rated conference. They probably caught UConn over confident and going through the motions. Fairfield jumped to a quick 7-2 lead. It puts pressure on the team that shouldn’t lose. I’ll bet UConn feels so humiliated they beat Fairfield by ten runs next year to make a point.
