The virus that swept across Hope College causing the campus to be closed for several days has another casualty.

Officials at Mount Union notified Hope that its women's basketball team will not be allowed to travel to Holland, Mich., for a season-opening game against the Flying Dutch at DeVos Fieldhouse on Saturday night.

The decision came on the heels of Hope receiving permission from Ottawa County health officials to resume to normal activities, including athletic practices and contests.

Mount Union officials indicated their decision was based on their assessment of what is happening at Hope. The virus that affected approximately 425 students, faculty and staff has received national media attention.
