Manhattan University’s women’s basketball program has announced the signing of Turkish‑born guard Ruzgar Christina Boyle for the 2026‑27 season, a move that bolsters the roster with a proven three‑point threat and veteran poise.
A Strategic Addition
Boyle arrives after a standout career at Division II American International College, where she amassed more than 1,000 points and earned All‑Rookie and Second‑Team All‑Conference honors.
Coach Heather Vulin praised Boyle’s shooting range, noting that she can stretch defenses with a quick release and has demonstrated the ability to hit up to nine three‑pointers in a single contest.
Beyond her shooting, Boyle’s versatility at both guard positions adds tactical flexibility, while her senior leadership and experience in high‑pressure games are expected to elevate the team’s competitive edge.
The coaching staff believes her mentorship will be especially valuable for the incoming freshman from Turkey, creating a familiar cultural link that could accelerate the newcomer’s integration.
With a career‑high 28 points against D’Youville and a reputation for clutch performances, Boyle is poised to contribute immediately as the Jaspers aim for a strong showing in the upcoming season.
