Manhattan University Athletic Hall of Fame
Carey Edwards '93 was one of the cornerstones of Manhattan's outstanding basketball teams during the Steve Lappas and Fran Fraschilla eras. He scored 1,139 career points while helping the program to 79 wins over his four years, highlighted by three-straight trips to the postseason. As a redshirt sophomore in 1991-92, Edwards and the Jaspers earned a then school-record 25 victories and a berth in the NIT, while setting the table for a historic season in 1992-93. He had a breakout year as a redshirt junior, earning earned All-MAAC Second Team honors, averaging 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, as Manhattan secured its first-ever MAAC Championship along with a date in the NCAA Tournament against Virginia. As a graduate student in 1993-94, Edwards again was slated to the All-MAAC Second Team after notching 13.1 points per game as the Jaspers qualified for the NIT. Following graduation, he served as an Assistant Coach at UMass under Lappas, and is currently the principal at Waterbury High School.
