On the men’s side, only Boston U wore masks because the game was played at Holy Cross:

The Patriot League, in which both teams play, canceled non-conference play this season. Monday is the first season game for both teams.

The NCAA reported $375 million in losses after they canceled the 2020 tournament due to the coronavirus.
