Gopher Women Cancel NYE Home Game Due To Wildcats' 'COVID-19 Protocols'
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Golden Gophers women's basketball team won't play its New Year's Eve home game due to apparent issues with the opponent's COVID-19 protocols.
The team announced Monday afternoon on social media that its game against the Wildcats at Williams Arena Friday "will not be played due to COVID-19 protocols within the Northwestern program."
The announcement said the Gophers and Wildcats are consulting with Big Ten Conference officials about rescheduling the game, and how it falls line with the conference's forfeiture policy.
Tickets for Friday's game can be exchanged for any Gophers women's basketball game in the future. Fans can call 1-800-U-GOPHER for more information.
