West Liberty, W.Va. - West Liberty University Athletics recognizes the logistical challenges of conducting weigh-ins for multiple teams aboard a ship, where space was limited and multiple scales were utilized. We appreciate the planning and coordination involved in hosting an event under these unique circumstances.

However, concerns arose regarding the consistency of the weigh-in procedures and the use of scales that produced significantly different readings. After discussions with the individuals involved, West Liberty University determined that it could not proceed with the scheduled dual under those circumstances. Our decision was made in the interest of maintaining the integrity of the competition and ensuring consistent application of the rules for all participating student athletes.

Over the past few days, a thorough investigation was made, and it confirmed that the decision made was appropriate.

We regret that the two programs were unable to compete as scheduled.
