Bronx, N.Y. – Returning home for the first of two straight games at the Rose Hill Gym, Fordham University women's basketball hosts St. Bonaventure Sunday afternoon.
Fordham (8-9, 0-6) is still seeking the first win in conference play this season, falling to Davidson 74-50 on the road last time out Wednesday night. St. Bonaventure (12-6, 3-3) is coming off a 57-48 win at home over Saint Joseph's, improving to .500 in league play with the victory.
The Maroon and White hold a slim 25-22 edge in the all-time series, though Fordham has dominated in recent years, winning each of the last 12 matches against the Bonnies, dating back to the 2015-16 season.
