- Last Friday (Oct. 8), LHU opened the weekend at No. 11 Saint Joseph's and the nationally-ranked hosts took home a 6-0 Atlantic 10 Conference victory.
- Lock Haven was scheduled to play at La Salle in A-10 play on Sunday (Oct. 10), but that game was canceled because of COVID-19 safety protocol and guidelines.
