After securing the program's first 20 win season in 19 years on Sunday in an overtime thriller against Saint Joe's, the Fordham Rams are back in action on Wednesday night, playing host to the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure University in the Rose Hill Gym.
Wednesday will be the final home game for four Fordham players, as Marah Strickland, Ranait Griff, Charlotte Stoddart and Arielle Collins will all take the floor of the Rose Hill Gym for one final time.
The game could also have a significant impact on seeding in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, with Fordham currently sitting in third place after their win over Saint Joseph's.
