SYRACUSE, N.Y. – In response to ongoing health and safety concerns, the members of the State University of New York Athletic Conference are suspending fall sports competition. In addition, the winter conference and non-conference schedules will be delayed until Jan. 1, 2021.

"Last week the NCAA released the newest resocialization guidelines, which requires frequent COVID testing of student athletes," stated Director of Athletics Tracey Ranieri.  "It was necessary for the NCAA to adjust the guidelines to reflect today's knowledge/science of the virus. It was clear, both as an institution and as a member of the SUNYAC that frequent testing of student athletes would be extremely complicated and a hurdle we could not jump over.   With student athlete safety, health, and wellbeing as our priorities we were left with the difficult decision to forego competition until it is unquestionably safe.  With grit, passion, and an awe-inspiring love for Oneonta, we are determined to get ready, daily, for the day we return to competitive sports. #ONEontaNation is stronger than ever.
