AURORA — An afternoon hailstorm delayed the Class 4A girls soccer championship game on Wednesday, and postponed the 5A game to Thursday.
The storm dumped about 4 inches of hail and rain on Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, the site of the 4A and 5A title matches in Commerce City. The storm knocked power out to the Park, which stalled field-clearing work — much of which is done by a suction system.
As a result, the 4A game is now scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, with the 5A tilt moved to 5 p.m. Thursday. The 5A game will still be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
The girls lacrosse championship remains scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the University of Denver. No change has been made for that game.
Further updates, if there are any, will be announced on CHSAANow.com, as well as CHSAA’s social media accounts.
All games are being shown on the NFHS Network.
