FURFC vs. Iona College: Away Loss 27-5

FURFC vs. SUNY Stony Brook: Home Loss 27-5

After settling in, the Rams scored 2 overload tries to even the match at 12-12 at the end of the first half.

The second half, however, started out much like the first: the Rams played on the backfoot and attempted to kick for territory instead of possession. Kings Point put on a solid offensive display to begin the second half. Despite a desperate, heart-filled rally, Fordham ran out of opportunities and time, falling 34-26 before the home crowd.
