RU WBB COVID outbreak, next 2 games postponed

[ScarletDave]

The game on the 7th has been postponed due to RU covid within the program. I believe this is the first Rutgers sporting event to be cancelled due to covid within RU itself

Edit: OSU game on the 10th is now also postponed due toRU covid

Here's hoping whomever has it is ok.
The women's basketball game on Thursday, Jan. 7 between Rutgers and Purdue at the RAC has been postponed out of an abundance of caution due to an increase in positive COVID-19 tests within the Rutgers program.

The decision to postpone was made jointly by the Rutgers University Department of Athletics and its sports medicine staff in consultation with the Big Ten Conference. Rutgers and Purdue will work with the Conference office to identify potential rescheduling options later this season.

The health, safety and well-being of the student-athletes, the program's coaching and support staff, and event personnel are the guiding concerns of all decision making within Rutgers Athletics. The program will resume its game schedule when its medical staff determines it is safe to do so based on protocols established by the Big Ten Conference.

It may not be a player. Could be a coach, trainer, academic support person...etc...
Dang, my $ to get BTN+ is going to waste
