(ALISO VIEJO, Calif.) The Golden State Athletic Conference has announced the suspension of athletic competition through Thursday, March 26 in light of coronavirus concerns. The suspension goes into effect immediately.
 
The step was taken to protect the health and safety of student-athletes and the campus communities associated with the GSAC. The conference and its 10 affiliated institutions will continue to monitor the situation. A determination will be made within two weeks regarding whether or not it is safe to return to competition after the March 26 date.
 
This action coincides with Westmont College's decision to institute remote instruction beginning on Monday, March 16 and to restrict access to communal and residential living spaces. More information about Westmont's actions to protect the health and safety of students, faculty and staff can be accessed at: https://www.westmont.edu/node/23563.
 
The suspension of GSAC games has an immediate effect on Westmont's spring sports. Baseball will not play its scheduled games at Vanguard this weekend or host Arizona Christian on March 20 and 21.
 
Men's and Women's Tennis will not host Hope International tomorrow or make its road trip to Hope International and San Diego Christian next week.
 
Decisions regarding non-conference athletic events for all spring sports will be made in the coming days.
