COVID-19 (coronavirus) impact on Women's Lacrosse

[Ipayforlax]

My daughter plays in the A10 and she just texted that the Patriot League just cancelled. No details or confirmation beyond that. Her school has gone to online classes after Spring Break. She says the only kids on campus are spring athletes and International students that didn't go anywhere for the Break. Very surreal she says.

EDIT: I just confirmed this on the PL website.

The announcement says the PL cancellation is effective March 16. Sounds like games will be played until then?

Just talked to D and this weekend may/may not happen. It is up to the traveling (and I guess host) teams to decide. I have one very upset kid....so disappointed in that she only got 5 games, while many teams are at 8 or 9.

I would expect other Leagues to change to a cancellation as well.

It is unfortunate, but understandable.

Sad

I got a rumor from a source that ACC is cancelling at 1 PM today. Anyone else hear that?

Same from Colgate and I would expect this weekend's game w BU to be cancelled (but not 100% confirmed).

Doc, I saw something consistent with that on the D3 men’s board last night. The post said Big Ten is talking today.

Pretty clear where everything is headed.

correct. Now it's up to the NCAA to take leadership on this so that everyone is on equal footing (why have BIG 10 continue if Patriot & Ivies are cancelled) and then can grant a blanket ruling on redshirts for those who want it (current rule is can't play in more than 4 games, whether 1 minute or full 60). Also grant additional scholarships for 1 year - say 5 total - to absorb those seniors that return for 1 more year and the incoming freshman.

Solution is there, NCAA has to take leadership.

Obviously there will be kids who can't or don't want a redshirt year, I just hope and pray that they can have a normal graduation ceremony at the school.

Whether or not to grant a 5th year of eligibility to members of non-revenue sports teams, doesn't make the top-200 in terms of things the NCAA is worried about right now.

So sorry to hear, Doc. If appropriate, please pass along my sincere regrets.

Doesn't the 4-game redshirt rule only apply to football?

Are u thinking only seniors would be given ok to redshirt? WhT about for redshirt seniors already there ? Idk what to think. This effects seniors, juniors etc. doesn’t seem fair only for seniors ? But I get what ur saying

I would think it would apply to all current players.

I think we have lost our collective minds. I feel so bad for all the student athletes that have lost this season, especially the seniors. The swine flu was contracted by millions in 2010 and many died yet no one blinked an eye. Personal hygiene and vigilance be damned. Wow, the crazies have taken over. Once Harvard and Princeton made the decision, we were screwed since they know best. Yeah, right.

The A10 just cancelled their MBB Tourney. My daughter was told by WLAX coach to expect a team meeting this afternoon.

[8meterPA]

CAA just cancelled spring sports as well.

[laxorangebookworm]

ACCT Men's basketball tournament is cancelled.

Apparently, SU-Virginia women's lacrosse is still on tonight.


And the insanity continues...
Looks like we're super stoked to slit our own throats over this overhype...

[LaxDad23]

Pac 12 has cancelled the season 'until further notice.'

They have also stopped the in progress Pac 12 conference basketball tourney.

I like that language. I wish all the leagues did that....
