Appalachian State’s home game against Liberty on Saturday has been canceled due to the impact of Hurricane Helene.

The game in Boone, N.C., will not be rescheduled, per a statement on the Mountaineers’ official website.

Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in Florida late Thursday, but adjacent states were not spared. North Carolina governor Roy Cooper issued a state of emergency in preparation for potential flooding, damaging winds and power outages, and media in the area near Boone reported widespread flooding Friday morning.

Liberty (4-0) will return to action against visiting FIU on Oct. 8, while Appalachian State (2-2) will travel to Marshall on Oct. 5.
