The Southern Connecticut Conference’s Board of Governors approved a 2020 fall tournament experience for the following sports -- boys/girls cross country, girls swimming & diving, field hockey, boys/girls’ soccer and girls’ volleyball.

“The fall 2020 season has been truly a unique situation for our student-athletes, coaches and administrators,” Commissioner Al Carbone said. “That’s why we are pleased offer a tournament experience and provide our teams a chance to play for a title.”

All teams will qualify for the postseason experience, with most sports holding divisional playoffs, including field hockey, girls’ volleyball and boys/girls’ soccer. First round and semifinal rounds will be contested at higher seedsz, following by a championship game.

On Nov. 4, cross country will have divisional races and then those winners (along with two additional teams and individuals) will compete for the league title the following week.

Girls swimming will host a diving competition and then have virtual divisional and league championship meets.

A decision regarding spectators will be made closer to the beginning of the tournaments.
