CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The University of Charleston Golden Eagles baseball team is about two months away from getting started with their 2020 regular season. With first-year head coach Robbie Britt at the helm of the team, UC will look to carry some momentum over from their 41-19 finish in 2019 where they were one win away from making it to the NCAA DII College World Series.

As for their 2020 campaign, the Golden Eagles will open up their season on the road on February 14, against Wingate University in Wingate, NC.

Following the three-game series, UC will travel back to Charleston to host Ashland University where they will play their first games on their new field at the Welch Athletics Complex (WAC). Ashland will be a lofty opponent as they posted a 48-15 record last season, making it to the NCAA DII CWS where they went 1-2 in that tournament.

The Golden Eagles will continue their non-conference portion of their schedule the following two weekends with two Atlantic Region opponents. They will play a three-game series against the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown on Saturday, Feb. 29 and a four-game series against Shippensburg University starting on Friday, Mar. 6.

On March 10, the Golden Eagles will travel out to Vienna, WV to play Ohio Valley University in a mid-week matchup.

The following day, the Golden Eagles will have a rematch of the 2019 MEC tournament championship game as UC will host Notre Dame in a doubleheader. In their last matchup, the Golden Eagles took the MEC title as they slid by the Falcons by a score of 9-8.

On Tuesday, March 17 Alderson Broaddus University heads to town for a mid-week game.

After their long spurt of home matchups, UC will then head back out on the road starting on Saturday, March 21 as they travel to Maryland to take on Frostburg State University who is brand new to the MEC this year.

UC wraps up the season in their final two weekends with some interesting matchups. UC will have to travel to Athens, WV to take on Concord with double-headers against the Mountain Lions on Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26. Concord finished last season with a record of 33-17 with a home record of 17-4. This looks to be a tough test for the Golden Eagles as they will be getting ready to wrap up their season.
