A-10 Championship Re-Match Highlights Wednesday Night Soccer Games

The Fordham men's soccer team looks to bounce back from a tough loss in their last game, as the Rams travel up to Kingston, Rhode Island for an Atlantic 10 Championship game re-match at URI on Wednesday night.
 
In last year's A-10 Championship finale, Fordham won that match, 1-0, and was the Rams' first A-10 Championship since 1996. This year's regular season match-up has pretty big stakes as well as Fordham is currently tied for second in the A-10 with George Washington at 3-1, while right behind them is Rhode Island with a 2-1-1 record.
