Ty Francis anchored the Le Moyne Dolphins’ defense and offense in a decisive 76-62 victory over the Manhattan Jaspers on Saturday in Syracuse, New York. The senior forward delivered a versatile performance, scoring 19 points while securing eight rebounds and recording three blocks. His presence in the paint stifled Manhattan’s interior attacks, allowing Le Moyne to control the tempo of the game and establish an early lead that they never relinquished.
Francis’ interior dominance and Gysel’s shooting spark a crucial win for the Dolphins.
Supporting Francis, Leandro Gysel provided a crucial scoring boost from the perimeter, finishing with 16 points on efficient 6-of-11 shooting. Gysel was particularly dangerous from deep, connecting on four of his nine three-point attempts, which stretched the Jaspers’ defense and created spacing for the Dolphins’ inside game. Trevor Roe contributed 11 points and six rebounds, adding a steady offensive presence despite struggling from beyond the arc with just one made shot on seven attempts.
For Manhattan, Ben Pearce led the Jaspers with 16 points and two steals, but the team could not overcome its defensive lapses against Le Moyne’s balanced attack. Josiah Sabino added 15 points, while Ben Tweedy finished with 11, yet the Jaspers fell to a 1-3 record. The Dolphins improved to 2-2, showcasing their ability to execute both offensively and defensively in a competitive matchup.
