LA JOLLA, Calif. -- UC San Diego's women's basketball team will have to wait before it can play its first game as a Division I program. The Tritons' game Monday against California Baptist was canceled at halftime because of coronavirus testing concerns. Prior to the cancellation, the Tritons led 28-25. Because the game didn't reach the 30-minute mark, it didn't qualify as official. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that a Cal Baptist player had a false positive test last week and had received two subsequent negative results. One of those tests was a PCR (nasal swab) test, and the other was a rapid antigen test. The Big West requires that both tests be PCR. The player was given a PCR test. However, results weren't immediately available, and the game was canceled, the Union-Tribune reported. Jenny Stephens of the UCSD sports information office confirmed the newspaper's account to The Associated Press. UCSD's next "first" game as a Division I program will be Jan. 1 against Cal Poly.
