We are shocked and saddened by the tragedy that took place on the campus of Bridgewater College. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims during this difficult time.
We are prepared to support the Bridgewater community in whatever ways we can.
So many factors weighed into this type of decision, but above all I am gutted for our student-athletes and coaches. Our staff worked hard to try to make this possible. We all want sports back when it’s safe!!
