GRR: Fordham
In a Bowl Game clash between two very different teams, Fordham met Southern Nazarene in Houston during NCR’s finals weekend.
SNU came in as a new D1 team in NCR but, thanks to some geographic isolation and an independent schedule, not a clear path to the playoffs. Ultimately, with SNU still being new to this level, a bowl game made more sense.
One of the more interesting results in men's college rugby was Brown defeating Fordham 38-14.
Fordham is looking like one of the stronger teams in the Liberty Conference, while Brown has been working its way up the Ivy League. Well, Brown took a big step here.
Fordham University's women's rugby team is looking for a head coach.
The team runs a roster of about 25 players and they are of varied experience and abilities. Playing in ACRA's Tri-State Conference, Fordham trains twice a week and plays on Sundays. The college has paid the coach a stipend of $1,500 per semester, and this is a two-semester position.
Fordham University men’s rugby capped off their three-match tour of Ireland with a 31-7 loss to Highfield Rugby Club, finishing off the tip 2-1.
Game two of Fordham's three-game tour of Ireland resulted in a second-straight victory, as the Ram defeats Galwegians 33-17.
After beating Athy 19-17 Fordham was expecting another tough, competitive match, and got it.
Hosted well on and off the pitch by the Galway club, Fordham got tries from Tony Kutz and Tom Hurst in the first half.
