ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Season tickets for the upcoming UCF baseball season are still on sale and can be purchased by calling the UCF Ticket Office at (407) 823-1000 or by visiting UCFAthletics.com.
As a special gift, fans who purchase four or more season tickets will receive a vintage, game-worn UCF jersey signed by head coach Terry Rooney, while those fans who purchase at least two tickets will receive a baseball autographed by Rooney.

The 2010 season kicks off Feb. 19 against Savannah State at 6:30 p.m. in the first of a three-game series with the Tigers. UCF's schedule also includes tilts vs. Miami, Rice and East Carolina.
Flex Pack Vouchers, meanwhile, return for the second-straight year. The popular option allows fans to select from either a five, 10, 20 or 25-game voucher that can be redeemed for any combination of games that they would like to attend. These will only cost $25, $40, $80 and $100, respectively, for these Flex Pack options. Flex Pack Vouchers for the 2010 season will go on sale on Jan. 29 at 9 a.m.

Backed by a unanimous top-10 recruiting class, Rooney and his staff enter their second year with the Knights in 2010. While the newcomers have received a lot of national attention, the Black and Gold return several exciting pieces from last year's team. That list is highlighted by Orlando-area natives Shane Brown and Chris Duffy, who combined for 12 homers and 80 RBI a year ago, as well as Freshman All-American catcher Beau Taylor out of Rockledge. Two-way player D.J. Hicks (Altamonte Springs) also is back for his sophomore campaign after going .301 at the plate and collecting four wins on the mound.
