MANHATTAN – K-State’s original 2020 season-opener against Texas Tech has been rescheduled for Nov. 13, at 7 p.m., at Buser Family Park.
Earlier this week, the original match scheduled for Friday was postponed as the Red Raiders had two student-athletes on their roster who recently tested positive for COVID-19. Texas Tech also had seven student-athletes, including both goalkeepers, who were deemed close contacts and were not allowed to return until after the opening weekend.
The Big 12 head coaches were unanimous in agreement that losing all goalkeepers was one of two reasons a team could postpone or reschedule a game. The Big 12 Conference athletic directors voted in support of the soccer match-interruption guidelines, which state that teams must have 14 student-athletes available, including at least one goalkeeper.
K-State will open its 2020 season on Sept. 18, at West Virginia at 6 p.m. The match can be heard for free at kstatesports.com.
