American Announces Postponement of Soccer, Volleyball Seasons to Spring

PHILADELPHIA -- The American Athletic Conference announced today that it will postpone all competition and conference championships in the sports of men's and women's soccer and women's volleyball until the spring of 2021 to align with the NCAA championship season. A decision regarding cross country competition will be forthcoming pending further NCAA clarification.

The decision was approved by the conference's athletic directors and senior woman administrators following the NCAA Division I Board of Directors' confirmation that NCAA Division I fall championships would move to the spring.

"We remain committed to providing our student-athletes a quality experience and competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics," said American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco.
