Snow forces cancellation of baseball, softball and tennis

By Kyle Kandetzki -- SPORTS EDITOR

Snowy conditions on Long Island and all across the northeast has forced athletic cancellations for Pride sports this past week, even for games on the road.

Baseball, softball and both tennis teams had games cancelled over the weekend from Feb. 27th to March 1.

In terms of home games, the baseball team’s home opener vs. St. Joseph’s College has been cancelled, with no makeup announced, as the University baseball field is still covered with snow. This weekend’s upcoming games against the University of Albany are still on as of now, but are not expected to be played.

Over the weekend, the men’s and women’s tennis teams were scheduled to play Stony Brook and Bryant, respectively. The Stony Brook matchup, scheduled to be played in Oceanside, N.Y. is listed as postponed, while the women’s match in New Haven, Conn. has been cancelled.

Finally, softball was set to play several games in Oklahoma, but the trip has been cancelled, in favor of trip to the FAU Parent’s Weekend Tournament.

The tournament will be played March 6-8, against Florida State, Coastal Carolina, Bethune-Cookman and Florida Atlantic.
