NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- A season which saw the Jaspers voted eighth in the preseason poll and finish the regular season tied for second ended Thursday afternoon in the MAAC Championship Semifinals at Iona with a 1-0 loss.
Manhattan closes the 2022 campaign with a record of 8-5-6, and with many young pieces, the future of this team is bright.
Iona's lone goal came early, in the third minute off a cross which was put away by the Iona's Matias Morales for his first of the season.
Manhattan threatened not too long after the Gaels' goal.
Gunnar Studenhofft fired a shot off the crossbar in the ninth minute.
As time winded down, a couple more opportunities presented themselves to Manhattan, with multiple balls being sent into the box but the Jaspers were not able to put the ball away.
Manhattan outshot the Gaels 10-3, but Iona was the team to get one past the keeper. The Green and White lined up for six corners compared to Iona's one.
