Albiani Inducted into Fordham Hall of Fame

It was a memorable day for the eight newest members of Fordham’s Athletic Hall of Fame, as they were inducted Sunday, Feb. 10, prior to the Fordham-Rhode Island men’s basketball game. The inductees join the ranks of Fordham greats Frankie Frisch, Vince Lombardi, John Bach, Ed Conlin and Peter Harnisch as Athletic Hall of Famers.

As a junior, Albiani stroked the lightweight eight to an undefeated season, capped by an ECAC championship. He closed his career by leading the team to another ECAC title and the grand finals at the IRA national championships.
