York College

Anthony Reyes completed his fourth season leading the York College men's volleyball program. 

In 2023, Reyes developed volleyball newcomers Ahmed Algendy, Marvin Mondesir, Stanley Sanchez, and Glenver Stuart into solid contributors. With the return of David Heyliger, Jr. and the addition of Alexis Ramirez, the squad garnered three wins in the 2024 campaign. Reyes notched his first career triumph (19-25, 25-15, 25-18, 25-18) at Medgar Evers College on March 7, 2024. 

Adding freshman sensation Sebastian Gomez to the fold in 2025, the squad claimed seven victories and returned to postseason action for the first time since 2016. Under Reyes' tutelage, Heyliger, Jr., and Gomez have each received four CUNYAC weekly honors. He has also seen Algendy and Sanchez be honored as members of the CUNYAC Sportsmanship Team in consecutive seasons. For the team's efforts in 2025, he garnered the York College Coach of the Year, and the squad secured the York College Team of the Year at the annual year-end awards banquet. 

During the 2026 season, the experienced coach returned career seasons from Alexis Ramirez and George Molina, and enhanced the games of freshman Keron Antoine, Bryan Godette, Brian Kim, and Jesus Gomez. On an award basis, Kim earned a CUNYAC Rookie of the Week distinction in early February, and Antoine was nominated to the conference's Sportsmanship Team.
