MOBILE, Ala. --- The Mississippi College men's and women's soccer matches between Mississippi College and Spring Hill, scheduled for Thursday afternoon, were canceled due severe weather on the gulf coast.

The women's match was scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff at Library Field and was delayed due to lightning, followed by a tornado warning, followed by another lightning delay.

The matches were eventually canceled with no make-up dates due to the lateness of the start times for both matches.

The Choctaws and Lady Choctaws are now scheduled to be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Pensacola to face West Florida. The women are scheduled for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff with the men to follow at 3:00 p.m.
