BRONX, N.Y.- With just four weeks remaining before the start of the 2013-2014 regular season, a pair of Fordham Rams has earned preseason recognition. 
 
Erin Rooney (Christchurch, New Zealand/Marian/Monmouth) has been named College Sports Madness Preseason First Team All-Conference, while teammate Samantha Clark (Neptune, N.J./St. Rose) earned a spot on the Second Team.
 
Both Rooney and Clark are coming off stellar years in 2012-2013.  Rooney finished second on the squad with 13.9 points per game, led the Rams in assists with just under four per outing and grabbed over five rebounds per contest.  In just her first season in the A-10, the Christchurch, New Zealand, native was named First Team All-Atlantic 10 --the first Ram to ever earn the honor-- First Team All-Met and Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team.
 
Clark, a product of St. Rose High School, set a program record by winning A-10 Rookie of the Week honors five times in her freshman campaign.  The Neptune, N.J., native netted 8.4 points and pulled in 6.5 rebounds per game in her first season as a Ram, good enough for fourth and second on the team, respectively.
 
The Rams will see their first action of the fall against Kutztown University in an exhibition matchup on November 3^rd before opening up the regular season against the University of San Francisco on November 8^th.
