Bronx, N.Y.  – Kicking off the final month of the regular season, Fordham University women's basketball hosts Loyola Chicago Wednesday night at the Rose Hill Gymnasium.

The Rams and Ramblers will square off at 6:00 p.m. on ESPN+ with Andrew Bogusch and Andrew Posadas on the call. February also marks the start of Black History Month, with the Rams wearing special shooting shirts in celebration.

Fordham (9-13, 1-10) looks to snap a four-game losing streak, after falling at home to Rhode Island last time out, 61-47 at home. Loyola Chicago (10-11, 6-4) is riding a four-game win streak, and have won six of their last seven after starting conference play 0-3, defeating St. Bonaventure 60-52 on Saturday.

In just five all-time meetings between the two sides, Fordham holds a 3-2 lead over Loyola Chicago in the series, and boast a 3-1 record against the Ramblers since they joined the A-10 during the 2022-23 campaign. Fordham claimed the last meeting on Jan. 11, 2025, a 68-53 win in Chicago.
