Lions Spoil Rams Home Opener

Men’s soccer blanked by Columbia, 1-0

Bronx, N.Y. – There was no John Denver songs on the Fordham men's soccer warmup playlist but fans very well could have heard one of his hits, "Back Home Again" blaring from the speakers. For the first time in 2026 the Rams got to take the field at Moglia Stadium for a match. Unfortunately Columbia ruined the night for Fordham, scoring the game's only goal in the 65th minute and held on for the 1-0 win.
 
With the loss, Fordham falls to 2-3-1 while Columbia improves to 1-1-1.
