Manhattan hosts Bryant on Sunday in the final game of the America East-Metro Challenge, looking to rebound from a last-second loss at UAlbany. The Jaspers opened the season with a 25-point win over Pace; Bryant arrives after edging Marist by two points. It’s the first meeting between the programs.

By the Numbers
  • 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Draddy Gymnasium in Riverdale, New York.
  • 17 points for Manhattan’s Taylah Murtagh against UAlbany; Celeste Harper added 15.
  • Bryant is 2-0, with Cameron McNamara averaging 13.5 points and Genevive Wedemeyer 12.5.
Yes, But

Manhattan’s loss was especially close: Harper gave the Jaspers a late lead, but UAlbany’s final two free throws decided the game. Bryant also comes in with momentum after a narrow win over Marist.

What's Next

Manhattan continues nonconference play later this week at FDU.

Bottom Line

The Jaspers have a chance to turn a painful finish into a reset against an unbeaten Bryant team—and close the challenge with a win at home.
