Men's Soccer Opener Against Appalachian State Cancelled

Aug. 26, 2016

CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team’s season-opening match against Appalachian State on Friday night at Gettler Stadium was cancelled due to weather in the area.

Lightning strikes prior to the game caused the kickoff time to be pushed back numerous times. The strikes continued throughout the evening, resulting in the match being called due to an NCAA policy that states that a match cannot begin three hours after the scheduled starting time unless agreed upon prior to the contest by both teams and the officials.

The Bearcats are now slated to begin the regular season on Monday, Aug. 29, at 2:30 p.m. at IPFW.
