Schedule and results
Following wins in the first two games of the season, the Seahawks were forced to postpone three consecutive non-conference games due to COVID-19 issues within the program.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
NEC COVID-19 policy provided that if a team could not play a conference game due to COVID-19 issues within its program, the game would be declared a forfeit and the other team would receive a conference win. However, wins related to COVID-19 do not count pursuant to NCAA policy.[ 9]
