UCSB men's soccer schedule hit hard by covid-19
Most teams are going to feel an impact from covid-19. UC Santa Barbara men's soccer might be hit the hardest of anyone. They're cancelling a flight to Illinois for road games at Northwestern and Loyola Chicago, and a flight to SMU and South Florida. Head Coach Tim Vom Steeg said he lost six of his nine ooc games.
In addition, UCSB is scheduled to host the College Cup (final four) in December. That's still on, though things may change.

One of the Gauchos’ most anticipated soccer trips was to take them to South Florida and SMU in the final week of September. SMU, however, had to cancel its match with UCSB when the coronavirus pandemic prompted Conference USA to move up the start of its league season to that week.
Vom Steeg would prefer to not commit an entire week of travel for what would become just one match at South Florida.
“We’re still in conversations with them, and they’re supposed to return the trip to Santa Barbara next year,” he said. “We had planned that trip to Florida and Texas with our RPI in mind, hoping to make a run at our own College Cup. South Florida is projected to be a top-10 team and so is SMU.
“On paper, this was going to be one of our hardest schedules in years.”
