Bryant, URI football game canceled

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University football team announced the cancellation of its Feb. 27 game with the University of Rhode Island on Wednesday morning.

Bryant has canceled the game out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of the student-athletes. The Bulldogs' contact practices have been limited due to COVID-19 protocols. Bryant and URI will look to possibly play later in the spring if there is an opening in both teams' schedules.  

Bryant will now set its sights on its Northeast Conference opener against Long Island University on Mar. 7. Kickoff is slated for 12:00 p.m.
