Hey there, basketball fans! Can you feel the excitement in the air? The Manhattan women’s basketball team is just one week away from kicking off their season. Led by the amazing Coach Heather Vulin, the Jaspers are ready to take the court and show off their skills.
The season opener is set for November 6th, and the Jaspers will be facing off against Central Connecticut State at their home court, Draddy Gymnasium. This game is just the beginning of what promises to be an action-packed season for Manhattan.
Coach Vulin is thrilled about the upcoming season and the talented roster she has at her disposal. With a mix of returning players, experienced transfers, and talented freshmen, the Jaspers are a force to be reckoned with.
One player to watch out for is sophomore point guard Anne Bair. She had a strong finish to last season and played a crucial role in the team’s success in the MAAC Tournament. The addition of skilled transfers has also added depth to the guard position, making the Jaspers’ transition offense even more explosive.
When it comes to the forwards, Manhattan is stacked with experienced players. Petra Juric, a Preseason All-MAAC Second Team selection, is leading the pack. With an impressive scoring average of 10.6 points per game and a shooting percentage of 56%, Juric is a force to be reckoned with. The Jaspers also boast a strong shot-blocking presence with Juric, Leyla Ozturk, Jade Blagrove, and Narrie Dodson leading the way.
Coach Vulin is confident in her team’s ability to dominate the boards and compete as the top rebounding team in the MAAC and nationally. The Jaspers’ post depth is impressive, and their versatility and mobility make them a formidable opponent.
