GW Hoops / COVID updates

**Posted by GW Alum Abroad** 2/03/2021 7:56 pm

So far, ColonialsBall has not indicated it will play this season (although conference rivals Mason, SLU and LaSalle are openly all looking for non-conf opponents) and no schedule has been released. Neither football/soccer teams has released a schedule, although women were picked to finish second in the A10 and "a finalized schedule will be relased soon". Volleyball has already begun play (and are off to an 0-2 start) and golf released a schedule that starts with a Feb 8+9 trip to South Carolina. Other sports, including softball, lacrosse and water polo are also yet to indicate their scedules.

Volleyball´s match with VCU over the weekend was scrapped, no reason given and the matches for this week are still on the schedule so it may not have been a GW issue.
ColonialsBall is still yet to release a schedule, many teams around the country open play this weekend.

COVID hitting the schedules hard. Volleyball was paused last week and will not return before March 23. Gymnastics had a meet scrapped over theweekend and the last two games for men´s football/soccer were called off (Wednesday´s tilt at Mason is still listed as being on, but stay tuned).

Football/soccer is scheduled for a home-and-home tie with VCU starting Saturday at The Vern. Volleyball is set to return to action for the first time since March 6 for the season finale vs Mason tomorrow. Gymnastics had its final two regular season meets scrapped but managed to qualify Deja Chambliss for the NCAA regionals on the vault. Women´s football/soccer and ColonialsBall have so far made it with few disruptions (ColonialBall may break the all-time record for fewest rainouts! I know, now I have cursed them...)

ColonialsBall is now 9-9 (0-1 conf.) after the bullpen fell apart in today´s A10 opener vs VCU. Series continues this weekend (DH on Saturday and a single game on Sunday, all streaming), Men´s football/soccer is 3-2-2 (2-1-2) and closes out its regular season Saturday at Davidson (streaming). Women´s football/soccer is 6-4 (4-3) and closes out at home against Davidson on Sunday (NOT streaming), no word on what happens after that. Volleyball was badly affected by COVID cancellations and ended 1-9 (0-7). Softball is16-7 (8-0) going in to this weekend´s two DH vs Dayton (Saturday streaming but apparently not Sunday).
Aside from the volleyball team, the sports seem to be avoiding too many COVID issues, and baseball may be on track to break the school record for fewest rain outs in a season (still think climate change is not real?).. Still a long way to go, but here´s hoping the virus stays away...
