TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Midwest Sprint Football League announced Monday that the game between Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and Calumet College of St. Joseph, originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18, has been declared a no contest and will not be resumed.
The contest at Ray P. Gallivan Stadium in Whiting, Ind., was first delayed due to prolonged inclement weather. Play began but lasted less than five minutes before returning to another delay. The game was ultimately called off after conditions did not improve.
Per MSFL by-laws, if both SMWC and CCSJ finish the regular season with identical records, the league will conduct a coin flip as the final tiebreaker between the two teams. MSFL Commissioner Ron Prettyman will oversee the coin flip on Sunday, Nov. 2, at 1 p.m. (ET) via live stream. The league and both institutions will announce the results immediately following the stream.
The tiebreaker procedure will only be necessary if both programs close the regular season with identical records
and each team advances with victories in their respective MSFL Semifinal matchups.
