GAME 5 • MANHATTAN 69, AMERICAN 62<br />

NOV. 25, 2009 • BENDER ARENA, WASHINGTON, D.C.<br />

Jaspers’ senior Darryl Crawford led <strong>Manhattan</strong> with a season-high 26 points and six rebounds<br />

to earn a 69-62 victory over American at Bender Arena. Rico Pickett helped generate a second<br />

half charge scoring 11 of his 13 points in the period as <strong>Manhattan</strong> picked up its second straight<br />

victory. Senior guard Antoine Pearson also gave the Jaspers solid production in the backcourt<br />

dishing out a career-high seven assists to go along with his 12 points and six rebounds. <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />

got defensive on the Eagles forcing 23 turnovers, which were turned into 29 points. Pearson<br />

tied a career-high with five steals, while Crawford and Brandon Adams swiped three apiece.<br />

<strong>Manhattan</strong> had 16 steals as a team. The Jaspers’ defense began clicking immediately to help the<br />

team roll out to a 14-1 lead five minutes into the game. The initial scoring surge featured a pair of<br />

3-pointers by Patrick Bouli. American missed its first eight shot attempts and turned the ball over<br />

six times before getting its first field goal of the game from freshman Mike Bersch at the 13:06<br />

mark. The Eagles eventually found their shooting stroke to finish the first half strong. American<br />

hit 12 of its next 16 field goal attempts (75%) and used a 12-2 run to pull within three points<br />

(16-13) at 8:26. <strong>Manhattan</strong> got some big buckets from Crawford and Pearson to rebuild a 25-18<br />

advantage, but American had one last rally in the tank. It closed the half with an 11-2 run featuring<br />

back-to-back 3-pointers Bersch and freshman guard Daniel Munoz. The Eagles took a 29-27 lead<br />

into the break. Bersch led the way with 13 points, including three 3-pointers. He had 16 points in<br />

the game. <strong>Manhattan</strong> burst out of intermission making a 13-3 run to regain the advantage it would<br />

hold the rest of the way. Adams capped the surge with a midrange jumper giving <strong>Manhattan</strong> a 40-<br />

32 advantage at 13:11. Pickett’s jumpers started falling midway through the second half as they<br />

helped silence American’s comeback bids. The Eagles got its deficit down to just four points with<br />

less than nine minutes remaining, but the next time down court Pickett called for the ball transition<br />

and buried a 3-pointer to extend the Jaspers lead to 51-44 at 8:45. <strong>Manhattan</strong> led by as many as<br />

11 points in the second half on Crawford’s breakaway jam with 52 seconds remaining (65-54). It<br />

was the 10th time in Crawford’s career that he delivered a 20-point performance. He shot 9-for-17<br />

and converted 7-of-11 free-throws. The Jaspers shot 46.7% (14-30) in the second half after struggling<br />

in the first half going 33.3% (11-33) from the field. <strong>Manhattan</strong> got 17 points in transition and<br />

28 in the paint.<br />

GAME 6 • MANHATTAN 68, FORDHAM 44<br />

NOV. 28, 2009 • DRADDY GYMNASIUM, RIVERDALE, N.Y.<br />

The Jaspers were clicking on all cylinders in the 102nd “Battle of the Bronx” as <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />

rolled to its third straight victory defeating Fordham, 68-44, before a sell out crowd at Draddy Gymnasium.<br />

Jaspers’ guard Antoine Pearson led the way with 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting to make<br />

his claim for the John “Doc” Johnson Most Valuable Player Award. Teammate Darryl Crawford<br />

contributed 15 points and nine rebounds to the effort, while Rico Pickett led the <strong>Manhattan</strong> bench<br />

with 14 points. Crawford got the Jaspers going by opening the contest with a 3-point play which<br />

sparked an 11-2 run. Fordham started the game shooting 1-for-10 from the field in the first six<br />

minutes. The Jaspers then burst out to a double-digit advantage courtesy of a 17-4 run spanning<br />

for nearly seven minutes. The scoring surge was capped by a Crawford’s jumper at 5:22 to go<br />

ahead 28-10. Pearson sent the Jaspers into intermission with a dazzling 40-foot 3-pointer at the<br />

buzzer to give <strong>Manhattan</strong> a 39-18 lead at the break. <strong>Manhattan</strong> shot a solid 57.1% (16-28) from<br />

the floor in the first half. Pickett led the Jaspers at halftime with 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting.<br />

Defensively, <strong>Manhattan</strong> forced Fordham into 12 turnovers, while limiting the Rams to only five<br />

field goals (5-16 - 20%) in the first half. Fordham committed 21 turnovers and shot 25.5% (13-51)<br />

in the contest. The Rams were 0-for-11 from 3-point territory. <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s hot shooting cooled<br />

off a little in the second half, but the Jaspers maintained a double-digit advantage all the way to<br />

the finish. Pearson scored nine second half points and swiped five steals for the second straight<br />

contest tying a career-high. Junior big men Andrew Gabriel and Laurence Jolicoeur blocked three<br />

shots apiece. Gabriel finished with six points and four rebounds. Patrick Bouli was also solid on<br />

the defensive end grabbing three steals and four rebounds. Senior forward Brandon Adams was<br />

a bright spot in a reserve role adding eight points and pulling down eight boards. The <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />

bench outscored Fordham 28-6. The Jaspers shot 49% from the field. <strong>Manhattan</strong> scored 32 of its<br />

points in the paint and got 21 off turnovers.<br />
