Robert Morris women's first Horizon League series canceled
The Robert Morris women’s basketball team’s inaugural Horizon League series has been canceled as a result of positive covid-19 tests within host Cleveland State’s program.
Two games were scheduled for Dec. 12 and 13.
Horizon League and Robert Morris officials are attempting to replace the series with another against a conference opponent.
Robert Morris’ nonconference home game scheduled for Wednesday against Bowling Green had previously been canceled.
The Colonials, who have not played a game this season, are scheduled to meet Norfolk State in a nonconference game Saturday at the UPMC Events Center on campus.
A decision on other possible nonconference games will be made at a later date.
All Robert Morris basketball and hockey games games through Dec. 31 will be played with no spectators in attendance.
