According to the Horizon League Council if a game is canceled to COVID it will be rescheduled if possible.

If the game cannot be rescheduled NKU “sought to deem the missed competition a no-contest since it is unable to field a team due to continued breakthrough cases among vaccinated student-athletes,” according to a release by Wright State.
