The Manhattan Jaspers are composed of 19 teams representing Manhattan University in intercollegiate athletics. The Jaspers compete in the NCAA Division I and are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.[3]

Manhattan University fields 19 Division–I athletic teams for men and women, including basketball, soccer, golf, rugby, baseball and softball, tennis, lacrosse and volleyball. Historically track and field has been the school's strongest sport.[4]

The Jaspers nickname comes from Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who was a memorable figure at the school. He was head of resident students, athletic director, and baseball coach during the late 1800s.[5]
