RIVERDALE, N.Y. - The Jaspers will head south to duel the Delaware State Hornets on Saturday at 1 p.m. Manhattan is looking to win its second consecutive game.
The Hornets have had a difficult start to the 2014 season, dropping each of their first six contests. Emily Etkins leads the Delaware State attack with 14 goals on the season. She is the only player in Saturday's game to have reached double digits in the category thus far. The Hornets are searching for their first win of the season.

Sophomore Stefanie Ranagan was brilliant for the Jaspers. She controlled 11 draws in the meeting and also recorded three points (2G, 1A). Junior starting goalkeeper Christina Fiorinelli made six saves in the outing and finished the day with an even 50.0 save percentage.
On the year, Ranagan leads the Jaspers with eight points (6G, 2A). Fiorinelli has a 52.4 save percentage and a team-high 17 ground balls in 2014.
