Yesterday afternoon Governor Charlie Baker held a press conference declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts as a result of COVID-19.  The State Universities and the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference are monitoring the situation and will share with you and your student-athletes any developments and guidance from state and Federal officials, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. 

Out of an abundance of caution, and in the best interest of the Academy's student-athletes and community, effective Thursday, March 12 and lasting through Monday, March 30, the MASCAC will suspend conference athletic activities, including all athletic events, team meetings, practices and contests, on or off campus, except for those teams currently competing out of state.   We will be actively monitoring the situation and reassess this action over the next two weeks to determine if further   action is warranted. 

Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the Department of Athletics will be actively monitoring and reassessing the situation within the next two weeks. We will continue to provide updates as they are made available.
