The St. Joseph’s women’s basketball had been originally been scheduled to open their season, hosting Villanova, on November, but that game was cancelled “due to a positive covid-19 test result among the program’s ‘tier 1 personnel.’ “
As of now the team will play its first game of the season at Hagen Arena against LaSalle on December 19.
Last month, the Inquirer reported that “St. Joseph’s University announced that season-ticket packages will not be available this season. Hagan Arena will not host fans at the start of the 2020-21 basketball season for men’s and women games in compliance with the city of Philadelphia’s COVID-19 guidelines.”
