He was the NJCAA DII's second most accurate field goal shooter, hitting an impressive 69% from the field, while making 75% of his free throws. He averaged 20.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.

In addition to his All-American recognition, Aquino was also named First Team All-Conference by the Mid-Hudson Conference, where he was joined by teammate Kevin Stein (Chester, N.Y.). Additionally, the Colts' Nick Molina (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Tim Linton (Pine Bush, N.Y.) were named to the All-Conference Second Team.

The Colts (19-2) finished the regular season as the NJCAA DII's 12th-ranked team in the nation. They advanced to the Region XV final before falling to Sullivan County Community College 83-66.
