The Iona College women's basketball team defeated Fordham by a score of 47-44 in non-conference action at the Hynes Athletics Center, posting back-to-back wins for the first time this season. The Gaels are now at 4-6 on the year while the Rams dropped below .500 at 6-7.
Iona's largest lead in the contest was seven points, a 13-6 edge at the 13:10 mark of the first half. Fordham went on to score the next ten points and moved ahead, 16-13, on a three-pointer by Arielle Collins at 9:53. The Gaels tied it up on a Samantha Kopp three-point play, and from there, neither team was able to gain a significant advantage.
The Rams were in front through the early part of the second period, but would not lead again in the game after the Gaels took over on a basket by Diana Hubbard with 13:38 on the clock. A 6-0 run capped by a Kristina Ford layup put Iona ahead, 35-30 with ten minutes remaining. Fordham managed to tie the score at 40-all with 7:15 to go, then a timely three-point field goal from Tomica Bacic gave the Maroon & Gold the final lead of the night.
