A makeup date has not been announced, but Moore said it will be next semester.
The Gators have two games scheduled for this week, Dec. 8 at Mid-Atlantic Christian in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and Dec. 10 at Frederick Community College in Maryland, before returning for a weekend homestand Dec. 16 against Monroe College of the Bronx and Dec. 17 versus Patrick & Henry College.
