FAU’s season opener against Georgia Southern, which was scheduled to be broadcasted on ESPN Saturday, has been postponed after the Owls' COVID-19 outbreak.
The program released a statement saying: “Following results of Thursday’s COVID-19 testing, it was determined the Owls would be unable to play Saturday. The two schools are working to find a date to play later this season.”
FAU coach Willie Taggart told reporters Wednesday that 11 members of the program tested positive for COVID-19 Monday, which led to the Owls canceling Tuesday’s practice.
Taggart didn’t previously say if all the positive tests were by players or if members of the staff tested positive too.
