Rutgers women's basketball has postponed its home games on Thursday, Jan. 21 against Penn State and Sunday, Jan. 24 against Iowa as the program continues to adhere to Big Ten Conference safety protocols outlining a return to competition after positive COVID-19 tests among Tier 1 individuals.
 
The decision to postpone was made jointly by the Rutgers University Department of Athletics and its sports medicine staff in consultation with the Penn State and Iowa programs and the Big Ten Conference. The schools will work with the Conference office to identify potential rescheduling options later this season.
 
The health, safety and well-being of the student-athletes, the program's coaching and support staff, and event personnel are the guiding concerns of all decision making within Rutgers Athletics.
