CONWAY, Ark. - Hendrix will have to wait a little longer to try to extend its winning streak in season openers to six.
The Warriors' Saturday game at Austin (Texas) has been canceled due to a combination of positive COVID-19 tests and quarantines within the Roos' program.
The game will not be rescheduled and per NCAA protocols regarding COVID-19 scored as a no-contest.
The Southern Athletic Association (SAA) announced Aug. 18 if a team cannot compete in a league contest due to COVID-19 related restrictions, then the game will be recorded as a forfeit for that team and not rescheduled. Since Austin left the SAA and joined the American Southwest Conference starting this season, a forfeit is unenforceable, and the game is recorded as a no-contest.
Hendrix's next game is Sept. 11Â against Wisconsin-River Falls at Young-Wise Memorial Stadium at noon CT.
