The league said the infected individuals have been quarantined at home under a doctor’s care and state and local health protocols are being followed. The league’s board of governors awarded the Triumph the title based on superior points per game this season
“We’re collectively very disappointed that the final could not be played,” USL president Jake Edwards said in a statement.
