Arizona State will host Connecticut on the rink on Jan. 5 for the Sun Devils' first-ever NCAA Division I home game, ASU coach Greg Powers announced Thursday.
The matchup will be the third time ASU will face UConn in the 2015-16 season. The Sun Devils will travel to the XL Center in Hartford on Oct. 16 for UConn's home opener.
The game in Tempe will commemorate a busy week for the Sun Devils, who host the first Desert Hockey Classic scheduled for later that week at Gila River Arena. ASU is also expected to face UConn for a third time then, as the Huskies will be participating in the classic along with Yale and Michigan Tech.
