UConn men’s hockey coach Mike Cavanaugh stood along the third base line of Elliott Ballpark in Storrs as the Huskies’ baseball team took on Yale Wednesday afternoon. He donned a Hook C hat and closely followed the action on the field. When a UConn player hit a ball up the line, he yelled at it to stay fair.
As Cavanaugh prepares for his 10th season in Storrs this fall, he’s not just someone who coaches at UConn. He’s a UConn coach through and through. He knows the school’s history of success in basketball as well as soccer, field hockey and baseball — and wants his program to reach that same standard.
