Recent weather forecasts have prompted schedule modifications for both the men’s tennis and softball teams at Longwood University. These changes aim to ensure player safety while accommodating competitive play. The tennis squad will conclude its season with a match against UNC Asheville, rescheduled to Sunday morning. Similarly, the softball team has adjusted their series against Radford, maintaining the original doubleheader but shifting the final game's timing.
Due to anticipated adverse weather conditions, the Longwood men’s tennis team has moved their concluding match of the season to an earlier day. Instead of adhering to the traditional weekend slot, players will face UNC Asheville on Sunday at 11 a.m., taking place at the New Lancer Courts. This strategic shift allows participants to avoid potential stormy weather later in the week.
In parallel developments, Longwood’s softball team is preparing for a crucial three-game series against Radford. Travel plans have been revised so that the team competes over two days instead of three. Saturday remains unchanged with a doubleheader as planned. However, the concluding match of the series will now occur on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m., aligning with improved weather predictions.
These adaptations highlight the university's proactive approach to managing athletic events amidst unpredictable weather patterns. By making these adjustments, Longwood ensures that both competitions can proceed smoothly, prioritizing athlete welfare and enhancing spectator experience through well-timed matches.
