There’s an old adage in baseball that says you can never have too much pitching. But what if you actually can? For Tom Pardalis, head coach of the Manhattan College softball team, too much pitching is a problem he is content with having. The Jaspers recorded their fourth consecutive shutout and fifth in the last six games after 8-0 and 5-0 wins against the Rider … Continue reading Softball’s Shutout Streak Reaches Four

For the Manhattan College Jaspers, the final four seconds of the game against the Rider Broncs in the opening round of the MAAC Tournament were a seesaw of emotions. Rider’s Jimmie Taylor double-clutched and hit a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining to give the Broncs … Continue reading Jaspers Lose in MAAC Tournament After Controversial Ending
Love Litzell promised himself it would not happen again. Not after all he had been through: His struggles in the weight throw his freshman year. The excruciating second place finish by one centimeter in the MAAC Indoor Championships in his sophomore season. And especially not after being stripped of a chance to avenge himself last year, when he missed the entire season with an injury. … Continue reading Litzell Etching His Name into Manhattan’s Record Books
It’s an adage, Steve Masiello has repeated frequently in his six-year tenure as head coach of Manhattan College’s men’s basketball team. “It’s February, it’s time for Manhattan to be Manhattan,” Masiello said on Saturday after a 68-67 win against the Marist Red Foxes.
