In July, the Great Lakes Valley Conference’s Council of Presidents voted to postpone the majority of the Fall 2020 intercollegiate athletics season until the second semester, due to ongoing concerns of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“We share our student-athletes’ disappointment in moving fall competition to the spring,” said President Mark Lombardi, PhD. “Hopefully, we can resume competition soon. In the meantime, we stand by our student-athletes and all of Saints Nation as we weather the disruption of the pandemic together.”

Maryville University will honor all current athletics scholarship commitments in place.

“The Maryville University department of athletics stands behind the decision made by the GLVC’s Council of Presidents,” said Lonnie Folks ’82, ’98, director of athletics and recreation. “The health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes is our highest priority, first and foremost, while also maintaining the high quality of our athletics programs. Thank you to the Maryville community as we continue to navigate these uncertain times together.”
