Conquistadors face 78-76 setback versus Warner Wednesday

LAKE WALES, Fla. (Nov. 11, 2026) — Men's basketball (0-2) had clutch free-throw shooting and a tough, contested layup end its road battle against Warner University (5-1), 78-76. The Royals relied on 12-for-19 shooting from the line in the second half and a Kyree McKelton bucket in the final ten seconds to deliver FNU its second loss of the young 2026 season

In the first half, Serge Beauvoir III was FNU's engine with 10 critical points in the frame. The guard from Queens, New York, was impactful all over the floor with three boards and easy layups in transition. This helped FNU enter the break with a slight 35-32 advantage. Warner relied primarily on three-pointers to keep themselves afloat, going 4-12 through 20 minutes of action. Kenny Greenling, however, had ten points on three-for-five shooting from inside the arc. McKelton posted seven points to go along with a couple of boards and assists, while Reginald Reinhardt had another excellent start with seven points despite three quick fouls before the break.

When play resumed, the margin for error was slim as the score settled at 51-51 with just over 11 minutes left on the clock. Rashard Reinhardt posted seven of the Conquistadors' early 16 points. Warner was operating at a higher efficiency just to keep up with the Conquistadors, shooting 75% thanks to eight points from Greenling. FNU hovered around 50% through this run, seeing nine combined points from Reginald Reinhardt, Stipe Sokol and Fernando Romero.

Warner jumped ahead 57-53 thanks to a pair of made free throws by McKelton and a layup by Jaevien Ervin to bring his total up to 12. This lead soon disappeared, and FNU used a three from Romero to get ahead 67-65 with under five minutes left in regulation. Romero also picked up a big steal that led to an easy layup for Beauvoir III to boost FNU's lead to four. 

Soon, the contest would be decided at the line, as the game stood at 74 all on a McKelton miss at the charity stripe. The star guard, however, chased down his shot and ripped the rebound from Sokol's hands, drawing the foul on the Croatian center to return to the line.

After a pair of made shots from McKelton, FNU was able to tie the game once more on the opposite end with two good free throws from Reginald Reinhardt. Ten seconds were left on the clock, and it was a crafty, downhill attack from McKelton over multiple defenders for a heroic finish at the rim that made the difference Wednesday night. 

Notably, four Conquistadors ended the night in double figures. Rashard and Reginald Reinhardt each had a team-high 17 points while Beauvoir III posted 13 points and four rebounds. Sokol went three-for-three from the field with 10 points and five rebounds.

Up Next: Florida National makes the short trip from Lake Wales, Fla., to Webber International tomorrow for a 7 p.m. battle in Babson Park, Fla.
