The Georgetown-Colgate football game, postponed October 4 due to an outbreak of norovirus at Georgetown, will not be rescheduled.

The game will be listed as an unplayed game in Patriot League standings and school records. The decision was endorsed by a 7-0 vote of the conference football athletics directors.

A tie in the season-ending standings will exist if teams have the same number of losses.

The norovirus sickened nearly 200 Georgetown students, including some student-athletes, forcing some to be hospitalized earlier this month. The virus also prevented the Hoyas’ men’s and women’s cross country team, men’s golf team, men’s and women’s soccer teams, men’s and women’s swim teams, men’s tennis and women’s field hockey from participating in scheduled events. Make-up dates have not been announced.
