FAMU volleyball match moved up, softball game scrapped by Isaias
FAMU athletics have made some schedule changes to volleyball and a fall ball softball game as Tropical Storm Isaias nears landfall in Tallahassee.
As Tropical Storm Isaias draws near Tallahassee, Florida A&M University has altered its sports schedule. The Rattler volleyball match against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, a Southern Women's Athletic Conference contest, has been rescheduled to start at 10 a.m. on Friday, up from its original 2 p.m. time. The game will still be played at the Al Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center on campus.
On the other hand, the FAMU softball team's scheduled game against St. Johns River State for the fall ball has been canceled. A new date will be announced once one becomes available. This adjustment comes after the university's football team's SWAC showdown with Alabama State for their homecoming game was moved from Saturday to Friday, now set to begin at 12:05 p.m. Eastern Time.
Montgomery is also forecasted to encounter some weather from Isaias. The football game will be aired on SWAC TV and broadcast locally on 96.1 JAMZ. Remote classes will be held for FAMU students on Friday, and the institution plans to dismiss early at noon.
