SPRING SEMESTER ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE IN MARCH

MARCH - REMAINDER OF SPRING SPORTS SEASONS CANCELED
In conjunction with an announcement made by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference regarding the response to COVID-19, Slippery Rock University has announced that all athletic competitions for the remainder of the spring semester have been canceled.

MARCH - SLIPPERY ROCK ATHLETICS STATEMENT
"We support the PSAC Board of Directors' decision as we understand it was made to protect the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and campus communities," said director of athletics Paul Lueken. "We are heartbroken for our spring student-athletes, especially the seniors, that saw their seasons and in some cases careers end very abruptly and completely out of their control. We will do everything we can to provide support for our student-athletes during this difficult time."
 
MARCH - SPRING SPORTS ELIGIBILITY NOT IMPACTED
The NCAA announced that all spring sports students that were eligible to compete this spring and had seasons canceled by COVID-19 will be granted another season of eligibility. SRU will work with each of its athletes to ensure those wishing to use that extra season will be supported through the process.
