Charlotte, NC -- (Sports Network) - The University of Connecticut accepted a bid on Tuesday to play in the 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl on December 1 at Bank of America Stadium.

The Huskies ended the regular season with a 9-3 record overall and 5-2 mark in the Big East, and will play a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference that has yet to be announced.

"We are ecstatic to have been selected to play in the Meineke Car Care Bowl," said UConn head coach Randy Edsall. "We were almost picked to play in Charlotte in 2004 and 2005 and I am excited that we will have this opportunity in 2007. This game will be an ideal way to cap off an exciting season of firsts here at UConn."
