Louisville Women's Basketball's Matchup vs. Virginia Cancelled

The Cardinals's home game against the Cavaliers is getting cancelled due to travel issues.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Another game this season is getting altered for the Louisville women's basketball program, but fortunately, this time it is not due to any issues on their end.

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Thursday that the Cardinals’ upcoming home matchup against Virginia, which was scheduled to take place later that night at 7:00 p.m. EST, has been cancelled.

The league stated the that reason for the cancellation was due to “mechanical and aircraft staffing issues preventing travel for Virginia.” Head coach Jeff Walz confirmed that game will count as a forfeiture in favor of the Cardinals.

This is the second game this season to be postponed for Louisville, and the first one due to non-COVID reasons. The Cardinals' road matchup at Miami was postponed from Jan. 9 to Feb. 1 due to issues with the virus within their program.

The No. 3 Cardinals, as a result of the win by forfeiture, move to 22-2 on the season with a 12-1 record in ACC play. Their next scheduled game is a home matchup vs. Notre Dame on Sunday, Feb. 13. Tipoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. EST.
