DENVER - A pair of NM State teams - women's soccer and volleyball - learned today their respective 2020 seasons have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as the Western Athletic Conference Board of Directors postponed the start of the fall season competition to no earlier than September 15 for women's soccer, September 21 for women's volleyball, and September 23 for men's soccer.
The delay to the start of the season is designed to allow all teams to safely re-acclimate to training and competition following the cancellation of most organized spring and summer conditioning programs. The Board will continue to monitor changing COVID-19 conditions and will conduct additional reviews as they become necessary.
