Pursuant to the decision by the NCAA on Thursday to cancel the remainder of its winter and spring championships due to the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, the Liberty League Presidents have unanimously agreed to cancel all remaining Liberty League regular-season and championship competition effective immediately.
Our Liberty League members arrived at this difficult and challenging decision after a thorough review of information from local, state, federal, and other public health authorities. While we recognize the disappointment that this decision will bring to our student-athletes, our top priority continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our students and their families, coaches, campus constituents and surrounding communities.
The Liberty League will continue to advocate for the NCAA to restore a season of eligibility for all student-athletes impacted by the cancellation of seasons due to the COVID-19 situation.

Statement from Director of Athletics and Recreation Bob Durocher
"This has been a very difficult week for everyone at St. Lawrence, and particularly for our spring sports coaches, student-athletes, and especially our seniors. While I'm confident that the decision to cancel our spring season is the right one for the health and safety our of our student-athletes and staff, our opponents, and the North Country at large, it doesn't make it any easier. I can't thank our student-athletes and staff enough for their professionalism and resilience during this time."
