RIVERDALE, NY - Ahead of the start of the 2026-27 season, Manhattan University redshirt junior forward
Kristina Juric has sustained a recent injury that will keep her out for the entirety of the season.
The recently-elected team captain and Preseason All-Metro Third Team selection was lining up to be a main contributor to the Jaspers after averaging the third-highest figure on the Green and White last year with 8.5 points. Shooting 51.5% from the field was also good enough to earn second place across the then-MAAC.
"We all truly respect and appreciate what Kiki brings to the table both on and off the court for our program. This is a huge loss with her being unable to suit up this season. We're so grateful to have someone of her character and leadership and even though she will not be able to play, we all know she will continue to add to her legacy as our captain," commented Head Coach
Heather Vulin.
Vulin and Manhattan open up the season on Monday, November 2 against Pace inside Draddy Gymnasium, starting at 7 p.m..
