Gampel chosen as NCAA first-round host for 2013

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - The University of Connecticut's Gampel Pavilion has been chosen as one of the 16 sites that will host the first and second rounds of the 2013 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.

It will be the 18th time UConn has hosted the tournament. The Huskies are 30-2 in NCAA tournament games played on campus.

Gampel is not hosting the tournament this season. Instead, first- and second-round games will be hosted by Fairfield University and played at the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport.

That arena also played host to the first two rounds of the tournament in 2004 and 2008 and in 2006 was the site for the NCAA Women's East Region championship.
