Officials from Collegiate Officiating Consortium Test Positive for COVID-19
The health and safety of our fans and communities is paramount. Out of an abundance of caution, the Horizon League, in conjunction with the Collegiate Officiating Consortium, is notifying the public of two officials from the Consortium who have tested positive for COVID-19.
One or both of these persons officiated in the following games:
- Saturday, March 7: Maine at Vermont at Patrick Gym (Burlington, VT) – America East Tournament quarterfinal
- Monday, March 9: UIC vs. Wright State at Indiana Farmers Coliseum (Indianapolis, IN) - Horizon League Tournament semifinal
- Tuesday, March 10: Manhattan vs. Fairfield at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall (Atlantic City, NJ) – Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament 1st round
- Wednesday, March 11: Manhattan vs. Siena at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall (Atlantic City, NJ) – Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal
Horizon League staff members have directly communicated with League members, related game personnel, related volunteers and the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. We continue to adhere to the guidance issued by the CDC and federal and state governments in these unprecedented times and we encourage our fans to do the same.
