He followed that up with a nine-kill, four-block performance in a 3-0 win over Albertus Magnus in which he had a perfect attack percentage.
He was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Clash at Kean after hitting .472 (22-5-36) and averaging 3.14 kills and 0.57 blocks per set. In a 3-0 win over then No. 11 Baruch he had nine kills and five digs and, in a 3-1 loss to then No- 5 Rutgers Newark, he hit .632 (13-1-19) with a pair of blocks.
