'UCF Knights Baseball Tickets'

'Established in 1973, the University of Central Florida Knights have regularly ranked among the top teams in the NCAA. In 1983, the program hired coach Jay Bergman, who helped lead the team to eight Atlantic Sun Championships and nine NCAA Regional Tournaments. Terry Rooney assumed head coaching duties in 2009 and twice managed an RPI finish in NCAA Division I in the Top 25. Head Coach Greg Lovelady took over in 2017 and has kept the team in the Top 50 RPI but has yet to manage a Top 25 percentage year,] even in 2017, when the team placed No. 1 in the conference. In 2006, the Knights moved from the Atlantic Sun Conference to Conference USA. They transitioned again in 2013 to the American Athletic Conference. This Orlando, Fla., university team has produced more than 100 Major League draftees. Buy your UCF Knights Baseball tickets today at StubHub.'
