Manhattan vs Mt. St. Mary’s Prediction
I’m on Mount St. Mary’s here. I get that Manhattan’s been playing really well in a lot of their recent outings, but the thing here is that Mount St. Mary’s has also really stepped it up on the road in a lot of their games as well and both teams are on a bit of a roll. I think I also trust Mount St. Mary’s a bit more on the defensive end of the floor and I think they can get the win on the road in this one. Give me Mount St. Mary’s here.
