Bronx, N.Y. – Fresh off a weekend home victory, Fordham University women's basketball hosts Saint Louis Wednesday morning at the Rose Hill Gym.
The Rams take on the Billikens at 11:00 a.m. on SNY and ESPN+ with Mike Watts and Andrew Posadas on the call. The Rams will welcome over 1,000 local students from the New York City area for their annual Kids Day Out at the Rose Hill Gym.
Fordham (9-9, 1-6) collected its first win in conference play last time out, defeating St. Bonaventure in a comeback victory, 66-53. Saint Louis (10-10, 4-3) has won back to back games over La Salle, 66-57 last Wednesday and at Dayton, 62-58 on Sunday afternoon.
The Maroon and White will look to draw level in the all-time series, with the Billikens holding a slight 13-12 lead through the first 25 meetings. Trading the last six meetings 3-3, Saint Louis claimed the win, 59-53, the last time the two sides met on Feb. 1, 2025. Neither side has won back-to-back games in the series since the Rams won three in a row from 2019-20.
Wednesday will mark the first of two matchups between the sides, as Fordham will head to Saint Louis, Mo. for a return meeting against the Billkens on Feb 11.
