Goldey-Beacom College has issued the following statement regarding the status of its fall and winter athletics teams for the 2020-21 academic year.

The College has announced its indoor sports seasons (men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball) have been canceled. The College also announced its fall sports originally intended to have their seasons played in the spring (men's soccer, women's soccer, men's cross country and women's cross country) also have been canceled.

The College's spring sports (baseball, softball, men's track & field and women's track & field) and full-year sports (men's golf, women's tennis) have no changes to their schedules.

"The decision to cancel our indoor winter and fall sports seasons was not a simple one," Goldey-Beacom Director of Athletics Dr. Tom Brennan said. "I certainly feel for the student-athletes and coaches effected, but it is the correct decision for Goldey-Beacom College. We remain concerned regarding the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff during this period of uncertainty as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor the status of the COVID-19 virus including any possible effect with regard to spring-sport activity."

Any questions regarding this matter can be directed to Associate Director of Athletics Jeremy Benoit at benoit@gbc.edu.
