Iona suspended junior forward Jordan Washington for two games following a skirmish at the end of Friday night’s 110-102 loss to Monmouth.

Washington connected with an open-hand slap to the face of Monmouth’s Chris Brady after the Hawks snapped the Gaels’ 26-game home winning streak at the Hynes Center.

“We hold our student-athletes to a higher standard than was displayed last night,” Iona coach Tim Cluess said in a statement. “We should know and will use better judgment in the future, regardless of provocation.”

Washington will miss Sunday’s game at Rider and Friday’s game against Saint Peter’s.
