CINCINNATI - The BIG EAST Conference announced today that the league is postponing all fall sports. The sports impacted at Xavier are men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country and volleyball. The plan for a potential restart of outside competition will be announced at a later date.
"This is right decision for our student-athletes," said Xavier University Vice President and Director of Athletics Greg Christopher. "Planning, exploring various options and an attempt to play fall sports has been our focus for several weeks. As much as we all want our teams to compete, our top priority is the health and safety of our student-athletes and everyone in our programs.
