Salve Regina Suspends Men's Soccer

Salve Regina University today suspended its men's soccer program for five games for violation of department policies. The suspension is retroactive to last Thursday, Sept. 27, and has already resulted in two forfeitures. The Seahawks will play again Oct. 13 at New England College.
Del Malloy, director of athletics, announced the suspension in a statement but did not elaborate.
"After a thorough investigation into the incident, we have levied the penalties and provided education to the student-athletes. We will not discuss the incident or talk about any individuals, but we feel confident this group has a better understanding of our department policies and goals," Malloy said in the statement. Efforts to contact Malloy and other university administrators have been unsuccessful.
Salve Regina was 5-3-1, 3-0-1 in the Commonwealth Coast Conference, before the suspension..
