Somerset, NJ -- The Northeast Conference (NEC) today announced the cancellation of one women's basketball game and four men's basketball games scheduled for this week.

The CCSU women, FDU men and Sacred Heart men are unable to compete due to COVID protocols, necessitating the cancellations.

Men's Basketball Cancelled Games

Per the NEC's Cancellation and Forfeit Policy, the games will be deemed forfeits. CCSU (women), FDU (men) and Sacred Heart (men) will be assigned losses in the conference standings and their opponents assigned wins.

By NCAA policy, forfeits will not change a team's official won-lost record, nor will they impact statistics or coaching records.
