LSU (5-2) was fixing to host a double header this Sunday versus Tulsa (5-2) and Nicholls State (1-1), but due to serious concerns regarding the recent mumps breakout on campus, the matches have been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date.
With several cases of students catching the mumps virus being reported by the Student Health Center, including a case involving a student athlete, precautionary measures are being taken to keep other students from being infected. This should decrease the chances of the virus spreading further and keep the threat to a minimum.
Currently, no other events involving LSU have been affected. But with a virus like this, it’s possible that this won’t be the only one to be postponed. The officials of each team involved in the doubleheader are working to figure out a date for the matches to be rescheduled.
