Brink Schoonmaker, manager of athletic facilities prepares the fields for the storm by making sure all windscreens are rolled and any potential flying objects are removed and stored away.
“As far as wind damage and debris and things of that nature, I’m not overly concerned with it,” Schoonmaker said.
The pick of two women’s soccer games scheduled for the weekend will be determined by the amount of rain that the storm brings.
