Navy–Memphis Postponed Due to COVID-19 Cases

Navy's game against Memphis on Saturday has been postponed, the Midshipmen announced Tuesday.

The American Athletic Conference announced the game was postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing at Navy, according to the Commercial Appeal. A makeup date has not been announced.

Memphis and Navy do not share a common open date through the remainder of the 2020 season. However, according to the university's statement, the American Athletic Conference plans to consider a number of options to hold the game at a later date.

"We are disappointed to have to postpone a second game, however protocols and guidelines are very comprehensive both at the Naval Academy and within the American Athletic Conference," Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk said in a statement.
