Somerset, NJ -- The Northeast Conference (NEC) today announced the cancellation of six women's basketball games and two men's basketball games scheduled for this week.

The Mount St. Mary's men and women, LIU women and St. Francis Brooklyn women are unable to compete due to COVID protocols, necessitating the cancellations.

December 31 - Mount St. Mary's at Wagner; St. Francis Brooklyn at CCSU; Merrimack at LIU

Men's Basketball Cancelled Games
December 29 - FDU at Mount St. Mary's

Per the NEC's Cancellation and Forfeit Policy, the games will be deemed forfeits. Mount St. Mary's (men & women), LIU (women) and SFBK (women) will be assigned losses in the conference standings and their opponents assigned wins.

By NCAA policy, forfeits will not change a team's official won-lost record, nor will they impact statistics or coaching records.
