SAN FRANCISCO – With the San Francisco Bay Area's air quality still too hazardous for sporting events, Sunday's women's basketball game against Cal Poly and the men's basketball game against LIU Brooklyn will be moved to Cal State Monterey Bay with the women tipping off at 2:00 p.m. and then men slated for a 5:00 p.m. start time.
 
As of Friday afternoon, at 2:00 p.m. San Francisco's AQI (Air Quality Index) has reached the "Very Unhealthy" category.  Additionally, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District has said that readings are likely to get worse moving forward as the smoke from the Butte County fires continue to filter into the Bay Area.
 
"After monitoring the Air Quality Index forecasts in San Francisco for the next 48 hours we have decided to move our Sunday doubleheader game to Cal State Monterey Bay, where the AQI projects to be much lower on Sunday," said Director of Athletics, Scot Sidwell. "Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those facing the tragedy and catastrophic loss that is unfolding throughout many California communities due to the wildfires.  We are thankful to the many people in the Bay Area that are focused on the safety of our community. We will look forward to playing our games on Sunday as scheduled thanks to the great people at Cal State Monterey Bay."
 
The men's and women's basketball games are two of several sporting events all over the Bay Area that have been postponed or cancelled.
