Almonor provided the offensive spark for the Knights in their third road win of the year, a 76-71 comeback victory over Manhattan on Friday. Almonor, the NEC’s Most Improved Player last season and a Preseason All-NEC honoree, scored a game-high 24 points and added eight rebounds, two assists and a block. He converted 8-16 shot opportunities, including three from long range, as FDU pushed its record back over .500. Almonor ignited FDU’s rally from a 12-point deficit, scoring 12 points in an eight minute span, culminating with a three-pointer with 8:39 to play that gave the Knights their first lead of the second half. Almonor currently leads the league with 2.73 three-pointers per game and 30 triples on the season. He also ranks second in scoring (15.9), eighth in rebounding (5.7), and ninth in both three-point percentage (,357) and free throw percentage (.750). His four 20+ outings are tied for most on the circuit.
