Highlights


SPRING 2009
At the America Trophy Regatta, the MAISA Spring Championship, Fordham finished in 10th place, 13 points out of eighth place and a qualifying berth in the ICSA Coed National Championship Tournament. This was our best performance ever and enabled Fordham to rank 10th among the 45 varsity and club teams in MAISA and 2nd among the 35 club teams.
  • The Rose Bowl Regatta hosted by USC in January attracts the best teams in the Pacific Coast and Northwest College Sailing conferences. In finishing 9th among 24 schools, Fordham was the highest placing club team, and finished ahead of three of the five Pacific Coast conference varsity teams participating.  
  • Our Rams had their best performance ever at an Intersectional 3-on-3 Team Race event when Fordham participated in the Admiral Moore Regatta at New York Maritime in March. Twelve teams, nine varsity and three club, from four different conferences raced. In head-to-head competition, Fordham lost to Hobart/William Smith, Boston University & Georgetown, and defeated Kings Point, New York Maritime, Connecticut College & the University of Michigan to finish in 7th place with a winning record of 4-3.
  • Fordham also won the Christopher Newport and Fordham 2-on-2 Team Race Regattas.
  • At the MAISA/SAISA Intersectional, Fordham placed 3rd in the 12-team fleet, finishing behind two and ahead of three varsity programs.
  • On the same weekend as the America Trophy Regatta, Fordham placed 3rd in the 16-team MAISA Spring Open at Cornell. Only nationally ranked Hobart/William Smith and Navy finished ahead of our Rams.
