Bronx, N.Y. – (November 3, 2023) – The Fordham swimming & diving team puts its unblemished dual meet record on the line on Saturday morning, as the Rams head to Washington, D.C. to face the Georgetown Hoyas at 10:00 AM at McCarthy Pool.
Fordham is out to a 3-0 dual meet record for both the men and the women for the second consecutive year, following wins over Marist and Monmouth on October 18
th and 21
st, respectively.
The Hoyas have been consistently on the Rams schedule since the 2019-20 season, with the three previous meetings being dual meet splits, as the Fordham women have won all three match-ups while the Fordham men have lost all three. However, last year's men's meet was the closest as Georgetown won, 159-131.
In addition to the good vibes from the previous two meets for Fordham, the Rams saw two individuals earn Atlantic 10 weekly honors last week. Fordham graduate student
