Results:

How it happened:

Manhattanville struck first with a three-pointer from Andrew Saint-Louis just 22 seconds into the game to take a quick 3-0 lead. The Valiants continued to find success from beyond the arc, building an early double-digit advantage as they hit seven threes in the first half.
St. Joseph's struggled to find rhythm offensively early, going just 6-for-23 from the field (including 2-for-11 from three) while committing six turnovers. Manhattanville capitalized, leading 35-19 at halftime behind balanced scoring and strong perimeter shooting (7-for-13 from three in the half).
The Golden Eagles came out with renewed energy in the second half, outscoring Manhattanville 34-25. Rodriguez and Hawkins drained early threes to ignite the comeback, while Esposito anchored the interior with rebounds and second-chance opportunities.
Midway through the second, SJLI trimmed the deficit to single digits. The rally continued as Rodriguez scored in transition and Esposito converted inside, bringing the score within five and then closer still.
Late in the game, Hawkins hit a clutch three-pointer to make it 59-53 with under a minute remaining, giving the home crowd hope. However, Manhattanville responded with key free throws and defensive stops to protect the lead.
Despite forcing 13 Manhattanville turnovers and winning the rebounding battle 35-32, St. Joseph's shot just 5-for-11 from the free-throw line and couldn't fully capitalize on their second-half momentum to complete the comeback.

St. Joseph's shot 41.2% from the field (21-51) and 27.3% from three (6-22), while holding Manhattanville to 41.2% overall.
