Guided by the health and safety of the member campuses and athletic departments; the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Board of Directors has announced that Fall and Winter sport competition has been cancelled through the end of the calendar year (Dec. 31). The University of Minnesota Duluth Athletic Department is planning to conduct as much meaningful team athletic activity, including training and practices, as is appropriate under the current circumstances. Please see the full release linked below for complete details on the NSIC decisions.

Bulldog Athletic Director Josh Berlo commented: "As with other COVID-19 related cancellations, Bulldog Athletics is deeply disappointed for our student athletes who will not have the opportunity to compete this Fall, but understands and respects the NSIC's decision in the interest of campus, community and public health."

Berlo added: "At this time we are focused on supporting our student athletes, helping them navigate the current challenges and making the most of the athletic activities (training, skill development, team meetings and practices) during the coming fall semester."

Sr. Associate Athletic Director & Sr. Woman Administrator Karen Stromme stated "As a member of the working group that developed this measure I fully support the steps taken given the challenges of COVID-19 while also heartbroken for our student athletes. Regardless, we will make the best of the fall semester for our great Bulldog student athletes."
