Riverdale, NY (Sports Network) - A layup from Emmy Andujar with five seconds left in double-overtime lifted the Manhattan Jaspers to a 74-73 victory over the Iona Gaels in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Association marathon at Draddy Gymnasium.

Rhamel Brown had a massive game with 21 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks for Manhattan (10-15, 8-7 MAAC) which has won four straight. Shane Richards and Andujar added 15 points apiece and Donovan Kates chipped in 10 points as well for the Jaspers.
