The Black Bears have had to postpone or cancel events for women’s hockey, women’s basketball, swimming and indoor track.
Four University of Maine athletic programs have had to postpone or cancel weekend contests because of COVID-19 cases within their teams. The women’s basketball team, which played Thursday and trounced New Hampshire,77-51, had its Sunday game at Binghamton postponed. America East has stated it will make every effort to reschedule any games postponed because of COVID issues, according to Tyson McHatten, UMaine’s senior associate director of athletics/external operations. COVID-19 cases within the indoor track, swimming and diving, and women’s hockey teams have also led to schedule changes. The men’s and women’s indoor track teams canceled plans to compete at the Sorlein Memorial Invitational at the University of Rhode Island on Saturday. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were supposed to compete at Bowdoin on Saturday. That meet will be rescheduled if possible. Women’s hockey was scheduled to play a two-game series at Boston University on Friday and Saturday.
