Lewisburg, PA - After falling short in its two previous exhibition games, Manhattan exploded for a 4-2 victory over Bucknell at Emmitt Field at Holmes Stadium.

Junior Ajani Phillips (South River, NJ / Saint Peter's Prep) scored two goals to pace the Jaspers while classmate Troy Carrington (Verona, NJ / Syracuse) and freshman Allen Martinez (West Palm Beach, FL / South Kent School (CT)) each found the back of the net.

"I am really proud of the way our guys wrapped up a tough preseason," said head coach Jorden Scott. "While we have a lot to work on, we are heading in the right direction."

Manhattan will open the season at Temple on Friday, August 26 with opening kick slated for 4:00 pm.
