Tuesday night, the Lady Rams captured the sixth and final spot available for the MAAC tournament by convincingly defeating Iona, 86-78. Prior to the game, both teams were tied for last place in the seven-team conference (Army competes on the Division II level), requiring a one-game playoff to determine who would play at least one more game and who would look ahead to next year. Fordham was the team which rose to the occasion, as they outplayed the Lady Gaels in every aspect of the game. Fordham coach Gary Orr was pleased with his team's performance. "We played with enthusiasm and confidence," said Orr.

The board felt that because unbelievable", said Fordham goalie Peter guess they can't change what they don't

"The league always has something against us," said junior Jim Soropoulos, "They knew we were the hottest team in this league so that's why we had to go out and destroy Columbia." Ironically, a victory over Fordham would have given Columbia the last playoff spot despite the fact it possesses a poor 4-12-1 record. Columbia opened the scoring with a Mike Elowitz goal at 3:44 on a tip-in off the stick of Agostini. But from that point on, it was all Fordham. The Rams reeled off 11 goals as the team played as if the league championship was on the line. "There was no way that we were going to let up," said Doug Winkler, "We wanted to show the league that we are the best, and I think we did.", Winkler's five goals and two assists led the Rams. Along with Narby (five assists), Obeidallah (three goals, two assists), and a supporting cast of 18, the Rams made the Lions' worst nightmares come true. Trailing 11-1 after two periods, the Lions felt like burying their heads, but they had to come out and play the final period. "I thought the game was never going to end," said Columbia coach Jeff Goldfarb. "This team has to be one of the best we've played all year, if not the best." Columbia did manage to accumulate three more goalsln the third, while the Rams netted another four. After the smoke hud cleared, Pete Agostini, who stopped 41 shots en route to his eighth win of the season, skated off the ice with a grin from ear to ear. "I'm real proud of these guys and the support they gave me this year. League or no league, we were the best." After the congratulatory mid-ice handshakes between the two teams, Fordham celebrated a little more. They doused themselves and their coach, Gordon Jamieson, in champagne. Even though the team did not make the playoffs, its 13-3-2 record was the best in Fordham hockey's 17 year history, and one has to wonder if the best is yet to come. With or without the playoff birth, the team's happiness was great, and could be best summed up by junior Rich Libero. "I really don't care what the league did or said, we know that we are the best team in this league and no one can ever take that away from us" POWER PLAYS: When the team returned home from the final victory, they proudly STARTS FRIDAY, MARCH 7th rang the Victory Bell...Eleven players finished the year scoring in double digits which were lead by Winkler (45-32-77), Narby (21-24-45) AT SELECTED THEATRES NEAR YOU and Obeidallah (14-19-33)...The team's 143 goals scored is a team record..

by Pe»e Toschcs There was no fanfare this time. There were no last-second jump shots, no climactic con frontation with lona. Most significantly, perhaps, there will be no post-season tour- nament bids. For Tom Penders and the Fordham Rums, the 1985-86 basketball season ended quicih and uncharacteristically early, Thursday, in the first round of the MAAC tournament ai the Meadowlands. St. Peter's put the Rams in rest with a 61-52 victory. Shooting, the Rams' most plaguing pi oh lem all season, once again proved to bcMhnr Achillels heel against the Peacocks. Twcniy- six percent shooting from the floor in the HIM half dug them a hole. Thirty-eight percent free throw shooting in the second half buried them in it. "The schizophrenic tendencies of our of- fense affected us today," Penders said alter the loss, Fordham's first ever in a first round MAAC tournament game. "Early in the second half we got some good shots, but then we missed four free throws and that really hurt us." An anemic first half didn't help either. The Rams scored just 16 points in the first 20 minutes. Only sophomore Tom Parrotta had more than two points (eight) at halftime. Meanwhile, the fourth-seeded Peacocks shot 50 percent from the field to carry a 2616 lead into the lockerroom. Fordham's play was typified by a last second turnover by Frank Williams who, thinking that the halftime buz- zer had already sounded, tossed an errant pass into the arms of St. Peter's Darren Rovvc who converted the steal into a lay up. John Roussey/THE RAM Penders shook his head on that one. "Frank thought that time had run out," he explained. "The horn went off in his head but not in the arena."
