Kingston, R.I. – With just three games left to play in the 2025-26 regular season, Fordham University women's basketball heads up I-95 for a Battle of the Rams against Rhode Island Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Fordham (10-16, 2-13) is coming off of its bye in the midweek following an 80-67 loss to Duquesne last Saturday at the Rose Hill Gym. Rhode Island (23-3, 14-1) remains atop the league standings but are coming off their first loss since Nov. 26, falling at La Salle 63-59 Wednesday.
The Battle of the Rams goes down for the second time this season, with Rhody taking the initial meeting 61-47 in The Bronx back on Jan. 31. All-time the two teams are dead even at 23-23 heading into what will be the 47th overall meeting between Fordham and Rhode Island on the hardwood. Fordham looks to snap a three game losing streak against Rhody, but still hold a 6-4 record in the last 10 meetings.
