America East announces return to play plans for winter sports

October 19, 2020

 

As first reported locally by John Wagoner from WVII/Fox 22 in Bangor, the America East has announced their initial steps in teams returning to athletic competition.

Both men’s and women’s basketball can begin an 18 game conference schedule beginning on December 19-20. Games will only be played on weekends (Sat. and Sun.) with the host team playing the same opponent on back to back days, with open weekends later in the season for any postponed games. Non-conference games can be played starting November 25, pending approval from institutions there can be up to three weeks of games outside of the America East. A full schedule will be released in early November.

You can read the America East statement below on Indoor Track and Field and Swimming and Diving, and then more about dates that have tentatively been decided on fall sports taking place in the spring that includes Cross Country, Field Hockey, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, and Volleyball.
