Oklahoma State women’s soccer will play a 13-game Big 12 conference-only schedule amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Big 12 board of directors approved a plan to start fall sports after Sept. 1 with “high contact” sports like football, soccer and volleyball will have players tested for COVID-19 three a week, according to the Big 12’s release Wednesday. If a student-athlete tests positive for coronavirus, they must go through an electrocardiogram (EKG), troponin blood test, echocardiogram and cardiac MRI.
“The virus continues to evolve and medical professionals are learning more with each passing week,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a release.
