Police investigate ‘isolated incident’ after UMass Amherst women’s soccer game cancellation

UMass Amherst police are investigating an "isolated incident" that happened on Sunday on the same athletic field on which a cancelled women's soccer game was set to take place, according to the university.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident on Rudd Field, and there are no ongoing threats to the campus, UMass Amherst said in a statement. The university declined to provide further details about what happened, citing concerns about protecting "the integrity of the investigation."

UMass Amherst's women's soccer team posted on social media to say its game against Northern Illinois University had been cancelled at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Neither UMass Amherst police nor Northern Illinois University responded to a request for comment on Tuesday.
