After returning from its first victory of the season, Southern Miss looked to carry its momentum in a home matchup against Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Instead, Southern Miss now deals with the repercussions of its first postponed game this season due to COVID-19.
Southern Miss was scheduled to play FAU on Oct. 10. However, FAU postponed the game on Thursday night because of positive COVID-19 tests on its team. FAU Director of Athletics Brian White announced the decision in an online statement.
“The health and safety of our student-athletes will always be our highest priority as we deal with this pandemic,” White said.
