Syracuse vs Morgan State Canceled

Syracuse women's basketball has canceled Monday night's non-conference finale against Morgan State, the program announced in a press release. The news comes as a result of a positive COVID-19 test within the Orange program. More from the Syracuse Athletics release:

"The Syracuse University women’s basketball game against Morgan State, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 28 (7 p.m., ACC Network) has been canceled. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution after the confirmation of a positive COVID-19 test within the Syracuse program.

"Additionally, at this time, all basketball-related activities are paused and contact tracing is underway. Syracuse athletics is working closely with Onondaga County Health Department, New York State Department of Public Health and the ACC Medical Advisory Group, to determine appropriate next steps. The team is adhering to all public health guidelines.

The next scheduled game for the Orange is Thursday, Dec. 31 at home versus North Carolina (2 p.m., ACCNX)."

This is the first COVID-19 related incident for the women's basketball team stemming from a positive test within the Syracuse program. Earlier this season, Syracuse's game against Binghamton was canceled due to a positive test at Binghamton. 

The men's program has had three such incidents, resulting in team activities being paused twice. The first occurred prior to the season opener, and Syracuse was forced to go without practicing for two weeks. They were still able to squeak out a win over Bryant. Prior to the next game, Syracuse had a positive test and contact tracing forced Buddy Boeheim to quarantine. 

After a positive test within the Buffalo program, Syracuse's most recent opponent, the men's team is currently in quarantine and will not play against until January 6th against Florida State.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
