Coronavirus affects volleyball’s spring training

The COVID-19 crisis has shut down professional sports seasons and even March Madness, so it was no surprise to find that collegiate spring sports were next.

Marquette volleyball head coach Ryan Theis said he was not surprised about the cancellation of the remainder of the 2020 season for spring sports.

“I just don’t think there’s any other choice,” Theis said. “Professional sports ending (and) traveling stopping, it wouldn’t be a very good optic to be playing sports when no one else is.”

Marquette volleyball junior libero Martha Konovodoff said she first found out about the cancellations on Twitter.
