CEDAR CITY, Utah -- The Thunderbird women's basketball program has paused all activities following multiple positive COVID-19 tests amongst their Tier 1 individuals.

As a result, the team will no longer be hosting Montana State on December 31 or January 2. At this time, Big Sky Conference basketball games that are canceled will not be rescheduled.

"We knew that this might be something that we would be dealing with following the holiday season, so we are not surprised, but we are disappointed that our women's team will be unable to play this weekend," SUU Athletic Director Debbie Corum said. "Obviously, our main concern right now is taking care of the individuals that tested positive. Our top priority is that these student-athletes receive the proper care." 

Fans who have purchased tickets for this weekend's contests will be offered a full refund or the option to exchange their tickets for a future home contest.

The Lady T-Birds will aim to continue their season next week as they are scheduled to travel to Idaho in Moscow.
