In an 81-78 upset win over Eastern Nazarene in the CCC quarterfinals, he connected on 8-of-16 shots from the floor (including going 4-for-7 form behind the arc) and scored a career-high 25 points to go along with dishing out four assists. In a 66-55 loss to eventual league champion Gordon in the semifinals, he scored 20 points and had four assists.
