"Today, it is with a heavy heart, I inform you I have made the decision UAA Athletics will not compete in any indoor winter sports during the 2020-21 season," wrote Chancellor Sandeen in a message to the UAA community. "This decision affects women’s and men’s basketball, men’s hockey, women’s gymnastics and women’s and men’s indoor track. Because the Seawolf ski team, which includes both Nordic and Alpine student-athletes, is a non-contact sport that practices and competes outdoors, it will begin competition later this month. UAA has not yet announced decisions about GNAC spring ’21 competition for volleyball, cross country running and outdoor track and field."
