Bronx, N.Y. – Returning home this weekend for another Atlantic 10 clash, Fordham University women's basketball hosts Dayton Saturday at the Rose Hill Gym.
Fordham (8-7, 0-4) fell in its last game at Richmond, 84-65 Wednesday, still seeking the first win in conference play this season. Dayton (8-7, 1-3) looks to bounce back from a narrow 71-68 loss to Loyola Chicago last time out, after defeating Duquesne in the previous game.
The Flyers hold a 28-11 lead in the all-time series, though the two sides split a home-and-home battle last season. Fordham claimed a 58-55 win at home on Jan. 18, 2025, before Dayton took a 62-57 win in Ohio on Feb. 18, 2025, snapping what was a three-game Fordham winning streak.
