The Southland Conference has announced its member institutions will not participate in volleyball and soccer competition through August 31, 2020. Beginning September 1, Southland members will have the discretion to participate in non-conference volleyball and soccer competition prior to the Conference portion of the 2020 schedules.
Â
Both the Sam Houston soccer and volleyball teams had already had games impacted because of decisions made by other conferences. They will now work to fill games before the start of the conference season.Â
Â
The Bearkat soccer squad is set to begin Southland Conference play on Sept. 18 at home against Northwestern State. Volleyball is scheduled to begin it's Southland slate Sept. 24 also at home against Northwestern State.
Â
The membership of the Southland Conference remains focused on the safety and health of its student-athletes, coaches and other participants, and this delay allows athletic departments to continue following recommended protocols and guidelines set forth by the NCAA, and local health, government and institutional leaders.
