Marquette women’s basketball will pause all basketball activities after an individual within the program tested positive for COVID-19 according to a Marquette Athletics press release.
“The team is going to adhere to doctor and CDC guidelines,” head coach Megan Duffy said in a statement to the Marquette Wire.
It is the second time this year that the Golden Eagles will pause basketball activities. They paused activities back Oct. 21 after a member of the program tested positive.
This comes 11 days after the Golden Eagles last defeated Xavier 69-56 Dec. 22 prior to their Christmas break. Their next three games against DePaul (Jan. 3), Creighton (Jan. 6) and Villanova (Jan. 9) have been postponed.
A Marquette Athletics spokesperson told the Marquette Wire he is awaiting word on how long the shutdown will be.
