KENNESAW, Ga. – The ASUN Conference announced changes to the 2020-21 women's basketball conference schedule on Tuesday afternoon with the league maintaining its 16-game schedule but conducting it with a single-site format.
In the new format, league teams square off against one another in a two-game series on the same weekend starting Friday and finishing up on Sunday. Unanimously recommended by the Athletics Administrators Committee and supported by the athletic trainers and the ASUN Medical Advisory Board, the ASUN Presidents' Council unanimously approved the new schedule. The amended format dramatically reduces the amount of contact among all league teams to minimize the risk of spreading the coronavirus and incidence of COVID-19.
"This scheduling model gives our teams and student-athletes the greatest chance to complete a full slate of conference games," stated ASUN Commissioner Ted Gumbart. "The health and safety of our student-athletes and our university communities remain at the forefront of all our decisions on athletic competition. We recognize the possibility of a competitive interruption due to the pandemic, but this plan provides the greatest opportunity for our teams to compete safely."
The Owls will open conference play on New Year's Day, traveling to Jacksonville for a two-game series, before returning home to host North Florida for a pair of games. Kennesaw State will alternate home and away weekend series for the rest of the conference slate before wrapping up at home on Feb. 19-21 against Stetson.
The full 2020-21 schedule, including non-conference opponents, will be released in the coming days.
