SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 12, 2021) – Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) has opted out of NAIA and Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) championship competition for the basketball, competitive cheer and competitive dance programs due to concerns over COVID-19 and safety and testing protocols.
Athletic Director Shane Hurley commented, "As basketball has a higher possibility of spread due to being indoors, on a small playing surface and a high degree of contact, we have opted to sit this year out of NAIA and RRAC championship play. We were very concerned about asymptomatic spread generated by opponents not testing on a regular basis, especially for indoors and high-contact sports."
