SCOUTING MANHATTAN

The Jaspers open their 2017 season Saturday against the Black Knights for the second straight year.
Manhattan finished 2016 with a 4-13 mark with wins over Army (14-9), UMass Lowell (12-11 OT), Central Connecticut State (9-8) and New Hampshire (13-11).
The Jaspers graduated their top three goal scorers last season, but welcome back Molly Fitzpatrick who netted 22 and added six assists on the year.

SHOT CLOCK

A 90-second possession clock rule will be employed in all NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse contests. This rule states the offensive team must register a shot within a 90-second window or the opposition will be awarded the ball at its location on the field when time expired.
The clock will be reset on a shot that is deflected by the goalkeeper or on a shot that hits the piping on the goal. The clock will also reset on all changes of possession and when any card has been issued to the team without possession.
The possession clock will keep counting down toward zero on shots that go wide or high of the goal.
