Charleston, S.C. – College of Charleston returns home this weekend for a CAA series against Hampton at Patriots Point. The teams play a doubleheader Saturday and a single game Sunday with both starting at noon.
Tickets will be required both days at $10 for adults and $5 for youth. The box office will open at 11 a.m.
The first 75 people at Saturday's game will receive a free CofC scrunchie. Sunday is a Bark at the Park Day, with fans encouraged to bring their furry friends. A waiver must be signed (see link above) or will be asked to complete one at the gate. Proof of vaccination is also required.
The Cougars opened conference play by taking two of three against Delaware at Patriots Point and were swept at Towson last weekend. The Pirates lost their first two CAA games against Monmouth before downing the Hawks in the series finale two weeks ago.
The teams are meeting for the first time since 2008, and the Cougars have won all five previous games against Hampton.
