The snow has melted, Eddie’s is full of sunbathing students and the Fordham men’s tennis team is in the win column. The Rams began their season on March 6 traveling to the Tenafly Racquet Club in Tenafly, N.J. and beating St. Thomas Aquinas in a close 5-4 match.
Women’s tennis lost another match, this time at Albany 7-0 in its match this past weekend, a disappointment following its loss to Quinnipiac Feb. 21. The Lady Rams could not take the doubles point. They opened with freshman Taylor Holt and sophomore Bethany Boyle winning over Albany’s Aubrey Brooks and Caitlin Crowley 9-8 (7-5 in the tiebreaker).
Athletes always say that the best part of the game is the fans. We constantly hear athletes say, “We have the greatest fans in the world,” and “We could not have won without the fans.” But what makes fans great? There can be great individual fans, wearing their team’s colors and being loud at games, but it is the group of fans as a whole who make them so important and nothing is more powerful than a stadium full of people shouting the same thing at the top of their lungs.
Even when things seem like they cannot get any worse, Fordham men’s basketball finds a way. Coming off its worst record in school history and the fifth-worst in all of Division I, this year, the team managed to do even worse this season, ending with a 21-game losing streak and setting a new school record for worst season while also being the only team in Division I to fail to win a single conference game.
The Fordham men’s lacrosse team won over Stony Brook this past Friday night in front of a great turnout. Ram fans came out to support their team in a 17-5 win over the Sea Wolves. The Ram’s large early lead provided an opportunity for each player to show off skills and great teamwork.
