The App State men’s soccer game against Arkansas State scheduled for Sunday has been postponed. The decision to postpone the game was made to ensure the health and safety of the student-athletes and coaching staff due to a potential COVID-19 exposure.
In a press release, App State Athletics announced that the game would be rescheduled for a later date. The team is following all necessary protocols and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

App State Athletics Director Doug Gillin expressed disappointment over the postponement but emphasized the importance of prioritizing the health and safety of the players and staff. He assured fans that the team is taking all necessary precautions and following all guidelines set forth by health officials and the university.
The postponement comes as a reminder of the challenges that college athletics continue to face during the ongoing pandemic. App State Athletics, like many other sports programs, has had to navigate uncertainties and adapt to changes in scheduling and gameplay to ensure the well-being of its student-athletes.
Despite the setback, the team remains focused and determined to continue their season once it is safe to do so. App State Athletics is committed to providing updates on the rescheduled game and will continue to prioritize the health and safety of its players and staff above all else.
