The Missouri Western women's basketball game against Emporia State scheduled for Thursday has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Hornet program.
The game will now be played on Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. Griffon season ticket holders are asked to hold on to their ticket stubs for the new date.
The men's game against Emporia State on Thursday will take place with a new tip time of 6 p.m. inside the MWSU Fieldhouse.
The Missouri Western women (2-5) have been idle for 18 days, last playing at Missouri Southern on Dec. 19.
Assistant coach Emily Whacker said the team had a closed scrimmage last week which has helped the players stay loose during that time.
"That allowed us to get our feet back under us and back into a rhythm a little bit," Whacker said. "That was a good thing, and we'll definitely be ready to go."
The Missouri Western women will be back in action Saturday along with the men, as they host Washburn. That regularly scheduled doubleheader will begin at 5:30 p.m. in St. Joseph.
