What started as a club sport in 1975, two years after women were admitted to Manhattan, quickly caught on because of early successes: During the season, as the only non-scholarship team in the Hudson Valley League, the women s basketball team won the league championship. At the end of the season, former athletic director Ken Norton promoted the team to varsity status for the campaign. The program reached its first MAAC Championship game in 1983, losing to Saint Peter s Manhattan College won its first MAAC Championship in 1987, beating Holy Cross HONOR ROLL Former Manhattan women s basketball player Donna Seybold 90 was inducted into the MAAC Honor Roll this past September at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. She is one of three student-athletes in program history to play on two MAAC Championship teams (1987 and 1990), and the only player to score in two NCAA Tournament games. Seybold was MVP of the 1990 MAAC Tournament and was named the Metropolitan Player of the Year. She was the fifth 1,000-point scorer in program history and finished her career with 1,217 points. Seybold was inducted into the Manhattan College Athletic Hall of Fame in WHAT S A JASPER? Manhattan is the only athletic program in Division I with the Jaspers nickname. The unique moniker honors one of Manhattan s most memorable figures, Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C. Brother Jasper served Manhattan College in the late 1800s and was the first coach of Manhattan s baseball team. He is also credited as the creator of the seventh-inning stretch, which has become a time-honored tradition at ballparks across the country. During a game in the 1880s, Brother Jasper noticed students getting restless in the middle of the seventh inning of a close game, so he called timeout and told the students to stand up a stretch for a few minutes before resuming the game. Since Manhattan regularly played the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds in the 1880s and into the 1890s, the tradition spread into the major leagues.
