BLOOMFIELD, N.J. (January 15, 2013) – Freshman guard Najha Carter (Neptune, N.J.) led the Bloomfield College women's basketball team with 12 points and six rebounds as they defeated CACC North Division-leading Dominican College 56-54 at the Deacons Den Tuesday night.  The win moves Bloomfield to 9-8 overall and 6-4 in the CACC, one game behind Dominican.
 
Early on, the Lady Chargers took an eight-point lead with superb three-point shooting through the first four minutes of the contest.  However, Bloomfield would respond and take the lead during the half, forcing multiple turnovers and fast-break opportunities.  At halftime, BC was up 33-29.
