MVC, UNI Move Fall Sports to Spring

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The Missouri Valley Conference Presidents Council has announced that the league's schools will not conduct conference competition this fall in any sport.

Based on continuing uncertainty around the ability to play full-season league schedules safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the lack of a fall NCAA championship opportunity, the MVC will look to move competition to spring.

"The health and safety of our student-athletes are first and foremost in our decision making and have been from the beginning of this pandemic," Director of Athletics David Harris said.
