YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —  The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team announced today, Dec. 24, a pair of schedule changes. The team's Mid-American Conference opener against Bowling Green State University, Dec. 29, has been postponed and may be rescheduled for a future date. Additionally, the Jan. 1 contest at Ohio University has been shifted back one day and will now tip off Sunday, Jan. 2, at 1 p.m. in Athens, Ohio.

On Thursday, December 23rd, the MAC announced that it has modified its 2021-22 COVID-19 rescheduling policy.  The decision was unanimously supported by the Conference's Directors of Athletics due to the current rise in COVID cases and its impact on winter sport programs. If possible, games that cannot be played as scheduled will be rescheduled. If a game cannot be played and cannot be rescheduled, it will be considered a no contest.
 
The MAC Medical Advisory Group will continue to monitor and discuss the current circumstances and, if necessary, may adjust the current protocols. All contests will remain subject to national, state and local health guidelines.
