GRR: Fordham
The Empire Conference kicks off league play this weekend with the top teams of recent years having been stung somewhat.
Syracuse was shut out by Buffalo a couple of weeks ago, albeit in a game where the Hammerheads had a good amount of possession and good field position. Syracuse will host Fordham on Sunday.
One of the stranger developments in the past weekend in college 7s was the fact that Colgate did not appear for the Empire Conference’s final tournament - now don’t be thinking Colgate bailed late or simply didn’t feel like showing up, this was planned.
There are few rivalries like a rivalry between Catholic schools and it’s a good one this weekend as the Jesuit college of Fordham takes on the Christian Brothers college Iona in a non-conference ACRC game.
