Fordham Women’s B-Ball Ends 35-Game Winless Run
Posted on November 20th, 2008 by Mike under New York, sportsThe Lady Rams of my alma mater Fordham University got off the snide last night, and broke their 35-game losing streak, defeating the Manhattan Lady Jaspers 62-49 in the annual Battle of the Bronx.

Last year, Fordham set an NCAA record win 29 consecutive losses in one season. Their new recipe for success in 08-09, some dude named Randall Hurst, who led the team in scoring with 19 points in last night’s win.
I kid. The lovely and talented Miss Hurst (Junior, Forward) hit two three-pointers during a 19-4 run in the second half that put Fordham in control.
Despite the 2007-08 season of fruitlessness, Fordham didn’t even flirt with the NCAA record for consecutive losses - 58 by the 1987-89 Long Island University teams.

Honestly, that losing streak was about the only thing Fordham athletics had going for them.
