BOX SCORE

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. (September 20, 2011) - Bloomfield's women's volleyball team fell to 1-4 overall and 0-4 in conference play Tuesday evening, as they dropped a 3-1 decision to CACC North Division rival Nyack College.  The loss drops the Lady Deacons to 0-2 at home on the young season. 

The sides remained even in the opening set through the first 18 points, but a 9-1 run by the visiting Lady Warriors put Bloomfield behind 18-11.  Nyack would take seven of the final 12 points in the frame, grabbing a 25-16 decision and putting the home team behind 1-0 for the second consecutive home match.

But the Lady Deacons would quickly bounce back with a decisive victory in set number two, winning 12 of the first 18 points to grab a sizable advantage early.  The Bloomfield lead would never shrink below five points in the stanza, with the home team taking a 25-17 victory and evening the contest at a set apiece.

It would prove to be the club's only victory, though, as Nyack was able to overcome the onslaught and take a pair of 25-15 victories over the next two sets, leaving Bloomfield still in search of its first conference victory of the season.

Junior outside hitter Clodesh Marie Montano (Carolina, P.R.) and sophomore middle blocker Dominic Spivey (Newark, N.J.) each totaled seven kills to lead the Bloomfield attack, with Montano also tallying 11 digs in the loss.  Allison Hart (Pagosa Springs, Co.) was solid at the setter position, posting 16 assists to go with four kills and 10 digs.  Brandi Bodin (Clara City, Mn.) tallied at least 15 digs for the second consecutive match, notching 18 in the setback.  Amy Dorvick led Nyack with nine kills, while Michelle Makela posted a game-high 25 digs to lead the Lady Warriors' defensive effort.

Bloomfield returns to action Thursday, September 22 with a home match against CACC North Division foe Concordia College.  Start time for the contest is set for 7:00 PM.
