Over three games in the national tournament Reynoso helped the Knights to a fifth-place finish among the 12-team field. He averaged 24.3 points and 12 rebounds per game. He recorded a 29-point performance in the Knights opening game against Northampton and followed that up with a 15-rebound game against Mohawk Valley on Friday.
