Virginia Athletics announced Wednesday morning that the home football game with Coastal Carolina scheduled for Saturday has been canceled.

The decision is not a surprise given the ongoing grief surrounding the Sunday night shooting of five UVA students, including four members of the football team, three of whom – Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry – died from their injuries.

The athletics department said Wednesday that a decision on whether the season finale, a Nov. 26 game against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, has not yet been made.
