MOBILE, Ala. – In reaction to the announcement by the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) that the conference will
suspend all fall 2020 sports and championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
Spring Hill College (SHC) has stated that the school is not ready at this time to
make a final decision on its entire fall sports schedules.
“As an affiliate member of
the Gulf South Conference (GSC) for men and women’s soccer and women’s golf, we
will also continue to evaluate the ability to compete in those sports this
fall,” said Joe Niland, Athletic Director for the College. The GSC has yet to
make an announcement on fall sports competition.
“We will have to evaluate,”
said E. Joseph Lee II, PhD, President of the College. “We are allowed to play –
we can even play conference opponents in the SIAC but nothing will be
sanctioned. We will wait to see the GSC mandate before making any final
decisions on fall sports.”
SHC is a full NCAA Division
II member of the SIAC in the fall season sports of women’s court volleyball,
men & women’s Cross Country, and men’s golf. Winter and spring sports
schedules are not affected by this announcement nor are the enhanced club
sports of men & women’s bowling and eSports.
