Bronx, N.Y. - The Fordham University Rams continue their 2019 season, Fordham's 119th varsity season, by traveling to Easton, Penn., to face the Lafayette College Leopards in a Patriot League contest on Fisher Field on Saturday, November 2, at 12:30 p.m.
 
The game will be streamed live on the Patriot League Network with Gary Laubach (p-b-p), Mike Joseph (color), and John Leone (sidelines) announcing and broadcast live on WFUV (90.7 FM) and wfuvsports.org with Dominic Capone (p-b-p), Devin Clementi (color), and Nick DeLuca (sidelines) handling the announcing chores.
 
Fordham enters the game with a 3-5 overall record, 1-1 in the Patriot League, following a 30-27 overtime league loss to Lehigh on Jack Coffey Field on October 19, while Lafayette is 1-7 on the year, 1-1 in the league, following a 21-17 league win over Bucknell in Easton last Saturday.
 
This will be the 38th meeting between Fordham and Lafayette on the gridiron. The Leopards lead the all-time series, which started in 1903, 24-12-1, and have taken the last two meetings, including a 21-13 win on Jack Coffey last October as C.J. Amill rushed for 133 yards and one score and Selwyn Simpson picked up 112 yards on the ground with two scores.  The Lafayette wins snapped a three-game Fordham winning streak in the series.
