As national and global concerns over the spread of COVID-19 grew, the NCAA announced the cancellation of all winter and spring sports championships. Consequently, the MIAA Conference canceled all spring competition with about 1/3 of the softball and baseball seasons completed.
The final spring competition by any Griffon team came on March 11 as softball completed a come-from-behind victory over Illinois Springfield in eight innings. Softball finished the shortened season with a 13-9 record with just two MIAA games completed, both wins for the Griffons.
Baseball was 8-15 after a three-game sweep of MIAA newcomer Rogers State to finish 3-3 in Conference play. Tennis was 6-5 in Olaya Garrido-Rivas’ first season as head coach before any MIAA matches had been played.
Both the men’s and women’s golf teams had just competed in one event each when the season was cut short while the track & field teams had yet to begin outdoor competition.
