PRINCESS ANNE, Md. — The University of Maryland Eastern Shore women's basketball game at West Virginia University originally scheduled for Dec. 29 at 7 p.m. has been canceled due to positive COVID-19 tests among Eastern Shore Tier 1 personnel.

In addition, The Shore's scheduled Jan. 3 home matchup with Lancaster Bible has been postponed. No makeup date has been scheduled, but one could come at a later date.

The NCAA classifies Tier 1 personnel as the highest exposure tier and it consists of student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff and officials.

The next scheduled game for the Hawks (4-7) is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) season opener at home on Jan. 8 at 2 p.m. versus Norfolk State (4-7).
