\n\tManhattan played things close early, when Mikalah Curran’s<\/a> kill cut the deficit to two at 8-6.\u00a0
\n\tFour consecutive points capped off by a dual block from Abby Morreale<\/a> and Katie Powers<\/a> tied the set at 13-all, and the next tie at 14 was created by a dual block from Morreale and Emilia Kuzniar<\/a>.\u00a0
\n\tEmma Franceconi logged three consecutive kills to once again put the margin back at two, this time at 20-18.
\n\tDespite keeping things close, Siena ripped off the final three points and won the opener 25-19.\u00a0
\n\tThe Saints kept their foot on the gas, rallying for the first eight points of the second set, including four service aces from Abby Edwards.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan was able to get the score back within five multiple times, but Siena outlasted the Jaspers 25-15 to take a commanding two-set lead.\u00a0
\n\tThings stayed even to kick off the third, as a multitude of deadlocks started at the first point and continued to the 11th.\u00a0
\n\tKarsyn Harris’<\/a> ace along with another Francesconi gave the Green and White the largest lead of either side thus far in the set.\u00a0
\n\tTwo more times the lead of three re-emerged, until two final kills from Margaret O’Brien<\/a> sealed the deal, securing Manhattan’s first set win of the night.\u00a0
\n\tMuch of the same continued in the fourth, as an even play remained a theme as Helenn Montilla<\/a> and Hanna Kaczynska<\/a> teamed up for a block to slim the difference\u00a0to 12-11.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan stayed as close as one on a variety of occasions, including three separate times in the 20’s, but a final kill from Gabrielle Wire confirmed the fourth set victory to Siena long with the match.\u00a0
<\/p>\n
\n\tSophomore and Freshman outside hitters Emma Francesconi<\/a> and Karsyn Harris<\/a> recorded 15 and 14 kills respectively, setting a new season-high for both.\u00a0
\n\tSophomore middle blocker Helenn Montilla<\/a> led the block party, chiming in with six of her own next to Freshman right side Hanna Kaczynska’s<\/a> five.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan hit at their\u00a0best rate in the final\u00a0set, with\u00a0a .273\u00a0clip.
\n\tJunior and Senior setters Ori Briger<\/a> and\u00a0Emilia Kuzniar<\/a> spread the wealth the most, accounting for 38\u00a0of the Jaspers’ 46\u00a0assists.\u00a0

\nAlverson and the Jaspers will return home to New York City next weekend starting on Friday, October 9 when they welcome the Purple Eagles of Niagara. Action from Draddy Gymnasium\u00a0is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. and can be streamed live on Jasper Sports Network.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
