Boston College Field Hockey Games Postponed

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College Athletics announced Thursday that the field hockey program will postpone the next five games due to one positive COVID-19 test of a student-athlete on the team and, after extensive contact tracing, the quarantining of nine other student-athletes for 14 days.

All team members not in quarantine were tested Tuesday morning and there have been no additional positive test results at the time of this release.

Due to the limited roster, the next five games at Syracuse (Oct. 10-11), at Duke (Oct. 16) and home versus Virginia (Oct. 18) and North Carolina (Oct. 25) have been postponed as a result.

Boston College has experienced a steady decrease in positive cases since a spike that occurred during the week of September 7-13. Last week, BC had a total of 13 positive cases out of 7,040 tests for a weekly positivity rate of 0.18 percent, well below the state average of 1.1 percent. Since testing began in August, BC has conducted 45,651 tests, including 30,906 tests of undergraduates, for a total positivity rate of 0.40 percent.
