2020 season canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Key dates below:
November 11
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference has announced the cancellation of all mandated regular season and championship competition for fall sports that were to take place over the 2020-21 season. The decision comes following a majority vote of the Board of Directors – The 18 presidents who preside over each of its member institutions.
The decision on PSAC Fall Championships follows the same action by the NCAA, which earlier this year announced the cancellation of all 2020 Fall Championships for Division II. It affects the following league sports: men's and women's cross country and soccer, as well as women's volleyball, field hockey and football. However, should six or more institutions commit to participating in any of those sports, the conference will reinstate a championship season.
Juy 15
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced Wednesday, July 15 that it will suspend all mandated conference athletic events and championships through the fall semester. This decision was voted on and decided by the PSAC's Board of Directors.
"We are committed to giving our student-athletes the chance to compete during this academic year," adds Geraldine Jones, President of California University of Pennsylvania and newly elected chair of the PSAC Board of Directors.?"Many institutions and conferences are facing the same circumstances as we are, and if it is safe to return to competition, we will work with them and the NCAA to provide our teams with a championship experience during the spring semester. We know this is a huge disappointment for our student-athletes who work so very hard in their sport. This decision was not taken lightly and we feel saddened by having to do so."
The Conference and its member institutions will develop guidelines for all teams to continue individual skill instruction as well as strength and conditioning activities under social distancing protocols by the end of the summer. The determination as to when winter and spring sports may begin workouts and practices will be considered at a later date.
