FDU Basketball Hosts Teaneck Day Saturday

TEANECK - As members of the Teaneck and Bergen County communities, the Fairleigh Dickinson University Department of Athletics would like to invite all Teaneck Residents to join us at the Rothman Center on Saturday, January 21, 2017 for Teaneck Day. Teaneck Residents can gain admission to the men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader by showing a valid Teaneck ID at the door or by utilizing the complimentary tickets distributed at various community events.

The first game of the doubleheader begins at 2 p.m. with the men’s game following approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

A personal invitation from Director of Athletics & Teaneck Resident David Langford:

Dear Teaneck Resident,

The Division I college basketball season is well underway with teams competing at a high level all around the country, including right here in Bergen County.

The Metropolitan Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Hackensack fields 19 NCAA Division I Athletic Teams including the men’s basketball team that won the 2016 Northeast Conference Championship and earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament in Dayton, Ohio. Our women’s basketball team also qualified for postseason play last year, reaching the quarterfinals of the NEC Tournament.

This year, our FDU men’s basketball team has been picked to finish first in the NEC Preseason Poll and is already off to a 6-1 start to conference play.

With all of this in mind, we would like to personally invite you to attend our men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader against longtime Metropolitan Area rival LIU Brooklyn on Saturday, January 21. The games are played at the Rothman Center just across the river on the Hackensack side of campus.

The women’s game will begin at 2 p.m. with the men’s game starting at approximately 4 p.m. Throughout both games the Teaneck High School Marching Band will provide musical entertainment.

As our guests, admission to the game will be complimentary with a valid ID showing that you reside in Teaneck.

FDU Athletics takes pride in being a member of the Bergen County Community, and we do look forward to seeing you on campus for the game.

Sincerely,

David Langford, Teaneck Resident

Director of Athletics
