When Xavier University women’s soccer coach Nate Lie saw novel coronavirus cases spiking across the country in July, he said he thought there were two likely outcomes for the 2020 college soccer season.

The Big East Conference officially delayed the start of the 2020 soccer season on Thursday, canceling the nonconference portion of its fall schedules for men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, cross country and field hockey.
“I can’t say that I’m really surprised,” Lie told The Enquirer.
