Women’s Basketball 

The Manhattan Jaspers women’s basketball closed the regular season on a high note Saturday afternoon, rolling past the Saint Peter’s Peacocks women’s basketball, 68-49, on Senior Day at Draddy Gymnasium.

Backed by a career-best performance from graduate forward Agar Farrés Garcia, Manhattan controlled the game from the outset. 

Brianna Davis, Agar Farrés Garcia, and Elisa Solé Sanchez combined for the first six points, setting the tone early. Solé Sanchez sparked the crowd with a pair of first-quarter three-pointers, helping the Jaspers build a nine-point advantage after 10 minutes. 

Manhattan extended its lead in the second quarter with a 9-0 run, highlighted by Farrés Garcia’s work at the free-throw line and efficient interior scoring. The Jaspers’ defense clamped down late in the half, holding Saint Peter’s to just one field goal over the final 6:30 and carrying a 13-point cushion into halftime. 

The Peacocks trimmed the deficit to six midway through the third quarter with an 11-2 burst, but Farrés Garcia responded with eight points in the period to restore control. In the fourth, back-to-back three-pointers from Davis and Solé Sanchez pushed the lead to 20, effectively putting the game out of reach. 

Farrés Garcia finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds for her third double-double of the season, while Colette Mulderig added 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Solé Sanchez chipped in 13 as Manhattan shot 53 percent in the final quarter to seal the victory. 

Men’s Basketball 

The Manhattan Jaspers men’s basketball fell to the Saint Peter’s Peacocks, 75-65, on Friday night at Run Baby Run Arena. 

Manhattan battled back after facing a 25-7 deficit just 10 minutes into the game. Graduate guard Terrance Jones sparked the comeback effort with a second-chance three-pointer and continued to lead the charge from beyond the arc. Fraser Roxburgh contributed key offensive rebounds, while Devin Dinkins added a late first-half floater to build momentum heading into the break. 

The Jaspers showed resilience in the second half, posting six straight points midway through the period and capitalizing at the free-throw line while in the double bonus. Jones finished with a team-high 22 points, while Dinkins added 11 and Marko Ljubicic chipped in nine points and six rebounds. 

Despite winning the second-chance points battle, Manhattan could not overcome its early deficit.

LIU struck early, finding the back of the net just 69 seconds into the contest. Goalkeeper Sophie Pasnak helped keep the deficit manageable in the opening quarter, highlighted by a save on a free-position attempt. After the Sharks built a five-goal lead midway through the second, Logan Pilon converted a free-position chance to put Manhattan on the board. 

Coming out of halftime, Kerr scored to make it back-to-back Jasper goals and trim the margin to three. However, LIU answered with three straight tallies to regain control. Meghan Wendler and Marissa Mongon responded with goals 20 seconds apart, before Kerr added her second of the day late in the third. 

Ella Brunette netted Manhattan’s final goal in the fourth. Pasnak finished with seven saves, while Brunette and Audrey Ziff each secured three draw controls in the loss.
