MANHATTAN JASPERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Nestled in the Riverdale neighborhood of New York City, Manhattan University has fielded women's basketball since its founding in 1853, with the program competing at the Division I level within the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Coach Heather Vulin oversees a 15-player roster that plays home games at Draddy Gymnasium, where the Jaspers have struggled to find consistent success this season. Through a 7-18 overall record, Manhattan has managed a 4-9 home mark while posting a 3-9 away record, leaving the program positioned at 7-9 in MAAC conference play.
Scoring efficiency has been a challenge for the Jaspers, who average 56.3 points per game while allowing opponents 65.2 points nightly—a 8.9-point deficit that reflects defensive and offensive inconsistency. At the 3,227-student institution, the program represents one of the smallest rosters in Division I basketball, requiring depth management across its 15 players. Manhattan's conference standing underscores the competitive nature of the MAAC, where tournament positioning remains challenging despite the program's sustained Division I commitment in a densely populated metropolitan area.
