Elise Fortier transfers to Fordham

Call it a premonition or just a hunch, but I had a feeling that Elise Fortier would be headed to an A10 school

Elise Fortier
Fortier played her freshman year at Stony Brook, where she hit .238 with 34 hits, 3 HR, and 17 RBI. Fortier truly excelled on defense, finishing with a .946 fielding percentage, while playing 3B for the Seawolves. With the departures of Jocelyn Dearborn to graduation and Becca Griswold to Buffalo, the Rams had a void at 3B and Fortier has a great shot at filling that void.

Fortier played travel ball for the RI Thunder, one of the best Northeast travel programs and she is the first Thunder player to choose Fordham for college. Fortier also earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors in her final season of high school play in Rhode Island.

Needless to say she is a very talented player and a great addition to Fordham's large and talented recruiting class for next season.
