RIVERDALE, N.Y. (AP) George Beamon had 15 points, including going a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, to lead five double-figure scorers for Manhattan in an 81-47 rout of Fordham on Wednesday night.

Emmy Andujar added 14 points, Michael Alvarado 12 and the Jaspers (6-4) got 10 apiece from DeCarlos Anderson and Liam McCabe-Moran. Each double-figure scorer connected on at least one 3-pointer for the Jaspers, who hit 9 of 19 (47.4 percent) from long range.
