RIVERDALE, N.Y. - After opening conference play against Quinnipiac on Dec. 19, Manhattan looks to get in the win category for the first time Monday evening to open up the home MAAC schedule against Fairfield. Leading Manhattan in the points category has been Senior guard
Brianna Davis, tallying double figures in all but one of the Jaspers' first nine games. Graduate forward Agar Farrés Garcia has established herself as the defensive anchor for the Jaspers, averaging 8.0 rebounds (3rd in MAAC) and 2.1 steals (6th in MAAC) per game. Graduate forward
Colette Mulderig has aided on the defensive end as well, averaging just over a block a contest, including three last game against Quinnipiac. The Green and White will wrap up the 2025 portion of their campaign on Monday before opening 2026 on New Year's Day with a trip to Saint Peter's in time for a 3 PM clash with the Peacocks.
