\n\tDavis scored the game’s first basket within the first 60 seconds, driving inside through pressure to convert for two.
\n\tDefense stood tall for the Jaspers in the opening frame, holding Rider scoreless until the 5:30 mark of the first.
\n\tThe Broncs scored the final four points of the quarter, taking a slim 8-7 lead by the first horn.
\n\tStarting the second quarter on a hot streak, the visitors found themselves up by five after scoring the first four of the second.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan ripped off the beginning of 18 unanswered points with just under seven minutes to play in the half, as Davis scored seven points herself in a two minute stretch.
\n\tHana M\u00fchl put together a pair of scores on her own through driving layups to shift the game’s momentum.
\n\tDavis connected on one more shot from beyond the arc before the halftime buzzer, giving the Jaspers a 13 point lead heading into the locker room.
\n\tEven without any baskets in the first\u00a0two minutes, Manhattan was still able to keep pace with Rider, as Davis, M\u00fchl, and Colette Mulderig<\/a> were all able to contribute on the scoreboard.
\n\tMulderig collected two more scores in the final 65 seconds of the third, and Davis’ pair from the stripple put her point total above 20 by the end of three.
\n\tIt was Mulderig again to start the fourth, giving herself double digits on the evening off a layup and a later free throw.\u00a0
\n\tKristina Juric<\/a> posted her first points of the night with around five minutes to play off a shifty layup from a Mulderig feed.\u00a0
\n\tM\u00fchl too tallied her 10th and 11th points from the free throw line, becoming the third Jasper in double figures.
\n\tRider scored eight points in under a minute down the stretch, but it was too much to overcome the Manhattan offense, as the home team cruised to a double-digit triumph.
<\/p>\n
\n\tSenior guard Brianna Davis<\/a> had a stellar night in the stat sheet, tallying Division I high’s with 23 points and 11 rebounds, along with two blocks. The Bronx, N.Y. native shot nine-for-15 from the field including three-for-four from behind the three-point line.\u00a0
\n\tGraduate forward Colette Mulderig<\/a> posted 12 points along with nine rebounds and two blocks.
\n\tSenior guard Hana M\u00fchl was the third Jasper to score in double figures, accumulating 11 to compile with seven rebounds and two steals.
\n\tManhattan shot at its best rate in the second\u00a0quarter, with a 57% clip.
<\/p>\n
\n\tHead Coach Heather Vulin<\/a>: “Credit to Rider for a hard-fought game through four quarters … For the majority of the game we did a very good job being locked in, holding them to 12 points in the first half.”
\n\tVulin on improved communication within the team: “We have a chance to really go on a run right now, and the only way that’s gonna happen is if all five people are communicating along with the bench helping them as much as they can.”\u00a0
\n\tVulin on Davis’ performance: “She is absolutely elite when its 1-on-1. Teams have been trying to double or triple her all year, and she’s still been finding a way to score.”\u00a0
\n\tBrianna Davis<\/a>: “The bigs have been playing better, so [defenses] have been keying in on them and that opens up things for the guards to attack the basket.”\u00a0
\n\tDavis on her ability to make tough shots: “You just gotta have the mindset that nobody\u00a0can guard you, once I got the hot hand I knew I had to get the ball.”\u00a0
