Bronx, N.Y. - Eight individuals will be enshrined into the Fordham University Athletic Hall of Fame on Thursday, October 5. Those making up the 2023 Hall of Fame class are Samantha Clark FCRH '16 (Women's Basketball), Chase Edmonds FCRH '18 (Football), Titi Fagade Gabelli '15 (Women's Track and Field), Elise Fortier FCRH '14 (Softball), Jason Harris FCRH '01 (Men's Basketball), Nick Macarchuk (Former Men's Basketball Head Coach), Ifeatu Otue FCRH '73 (Men's Soccer), and Natali Sunara FCRH '96 (Women's Tennis).
 
The eight will join the likes of Frankie Frisch, Vince Lombardi, Wellington Mara and Vin Scully in the Fordham Athletics Hall of Fame when the new class is inducted on October 5 under the Homecoming tent on Edwards Parade as part of Homecoming weekend festivities.
Natali Sunara shined for Fordham women's tennis after transferring in from junior college, rising to become the team's number one singles player for two years. Sunara had a breakout 1994 season, reaching the quarterfinals of the 1994 New York State Tournament and representing Fordham at the 1994 Rolex ITA Regionals. She earned the nod as the 1994 Patriot League Tournament MVP, and was named All-Patriot League in both singles and doubles play. Sunara helped to engineer a remarkable turnaround from Fordham's 1993-94 season in which they posted a 3-15 overall record. The team would go 14-3 in 1994-95, and Sunara was named the 1995 Hobbs Family Award winner. In her final season, Sunara served as co-captain and was named to the 1996 Academic All-Atlantic 10 team.
 
Congratulations to the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2023! Each of these individuals' contributions are an integral part of the proud history of Fordham Athletics, and their legacies will be forever remembered and celebrated. 
 
Tickets to attend the October 5 ceremony are now available. Thank you for your support of Fordham Athletics and the Athletic Hall of Fame! Go Rams!
