Indiana University announced on Tuesday that it paused all team-related activities after a series of positive COVID-19 tests within the program.

The team did not practice on Tuesday while all Tier 1 staff and coaches went through PCR testing.

"The health and safety of our students, coaches and staff is paramount," IU athletics director Scott Dolson said in a news release. "In consultation with our medical experts, we decided this is the appropriate decision at this time. We will continue to assess the situation moving forward."
