Triton Athletics suspends sports until fall

All University of Guam varsity and club sports will be suspended until the fall semester, the Triton Athletics Department announced today. The suspension comes amidst the 14-day government of Guam shutdown in response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak in Guam and the university’s move to online-only classes for the remainder of the semester.

Four varsity teams and two club teams will end their seasons with the following records:

* Triton Men’s Varsity Basketball: 8-10
* Triton Women’s Varsity Basketball: 7-5
* Triton Men’s Varsity Soccer: 2-10-2
* Triton Women’s Varsity Soccer: 3-8-2
* Trident Men’s Club Basketball: 0-1
* Trident Women’s Club Volleyball: 2-5

Next season

The Triton Women’s Basketball Team will return to play on Sept. 8 in the six-team Lady Triton Super Basketball League. Several games will be aired on PBS Guam, and a final championship game is scheduled for Oct. 7.

The Trident Women’s Club Volleyball Team is scheduled to start Oct. 6 in a four-team league with a final championship game scheduled for Dec. 2.

The Triton Men’s Basketball Team will return to play on Oct. 27 in the six-team Triton Men’s Basketball League. Several games will be aired on PBS Guam, and the final championship game is scheduled for Dec. 6.

Men’s and women’s soccer will return for play in the fall in Guam Football Association leagues yet to be determined.

A newly reinstated men’s baseball team is also a possibility for fall pending player recruitment.
