Cavanaugh, Goulding Awarded
Women’s basketball had an outstanding season, and two of the team’s top players, Bre Cavanaugh and Mary Goulding were given Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) honorable mentions on Wednesday, April 3 for their performances in the 2018-19 season. This award only considers student-athletes that have been named to the First Team of their respective conference or have been given some other major honor. Cavanaugh and Goulding were both the first Fordham teammates to be named to the conference First Team since the program joined the Atlantic 10 and led the Rams to their first ever share of a conference regular season championship and their first conference tournament title.
Men’s Soccer Has Cancellation
