Fordham athletics on pause because of virus outbreak
“It’s a really tough spot,” junior captain Kaitlyn Downey said in a phone interview Wednesday. “We saw this number on Fordham’s COVID dashboard keep jumping. Kids returned to campus, Super Bowl parties. One day it was 80 and then we saw it jump to 115. We knew that wasn’t good.” The pause was caused once there were over 100 active coronavirus cases on campus during a two-week time period due to New York state health regulations. While many basketball programs have been put on pause this year because of the virus, few have been suspended without a positive test within the team.
