The SMU women’s basketball team decided to cancel the remainder of its season today, according to a press release sent out by SMU Athletics.
The administration cited concerns surrounding COVID-19 as the reason for the cancellation just six games into the season.
SMU stood at 0-6 and had a game slated tomorrow at home against Temple.
“This was not a decision our student-athletes took lightly,” SMU Athletic Director Rick Hart said in a prepared statement.
“It was a difficult decision for them to make. That said, we support them, as we have supported the choices of our student-athletes in all sports whether they have elected to compete or to opt out,” he said.
