College of Charleston baseball head coach Monte Lee has released the 2012 Cougar schedule. College of Charleston will once again play a challenging non-conference schedule against some of the nation’s best teams as well as an always tough slate in the Southern Conference.

The Cougars will face six teams that were 2011 NCAA participants, including BIG EAST champion Connecticut, regional host Clemson and two-time World Series champion South Carolina. In-state rival Coastal Carolina will play Charleston in home and away mid-week games, as well as Jacksonville who went 1-2 in last year’s Gainesville regional.
