The Arizona Wildcats’ home game against the University of Texas-El Paso on Sunday has been canceled due to a positive COVID-19 case within UTEP’s program.
The University of Arizona made the announcement Friday night in a press release.
The Wildcats also had the season opener against Northern Arizona University on Wednesday canceled after a Lumberjack player tested positive for the virus.
Arizona is looking to replace the UTEP game, according to the release, though no game announcements have been made as of Saturday morning.

The Wildcats won their only game of the season, 74-55, over Grambling on Friday evening.
