Hurricane Florence is expected to hit the East Coast Friday morning, with tropical winds reaching the shore by Thursday morning. The storm is forcing colleges and universities to close its doors and those schools’ teams to cancel games.
This is a running list of women’s volleyball games that are canceled, postponed or have a time change due to the incoming storm.

LIU Brooklyn at University of Miami - Canceled
The Blackbirds two-game series against the University of Miami slated to begin Friday night will not be rescheduled.
North Carolina vs. North Dakota State — Canceled
The Tar Heels and Bison were scheduled to play Friday at 6 p.m. in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina at Duke — Postponed
Whether this game was played in Chapel Hill or in Durham, there was a high possibility it was going to be postponed on Sunday at 2 p.m. Being that this is a conference game and the two schools are roughly 10 miles apart, it shouldn’t take much for the game to be rescheduled.

Multiple projections of Florence’s path show it making landfall right over Wilmington, North Carolina, so it wasn’t a surprise when UNC-Wilmington canceled its weekend tournament on Tuesday with South Carolina State, Western Carolina, Charleston Southern and Providence.
