BRONXVILLE, N.Y. –The top team in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division saw their attempt for a third consecutive win blocked by the Clippers from Concordia College Wednesday evening. The, 93-80 setback featured a double-double from Rakwan Kelly (Newark, N.J.) as he put up 11 points along with a team-high, 12 rebounds while Marcus Fleming (Linden, N.J.) and Ahmid Williams (Monroe, N.J.) paced the Bears offense with 14 points each. Bloomfield could not find an answer for the Clippers' Jalen Heath who lit up the Meyer Athletic Center with 23 points and 19 rebounds on 7-for-13 shooting from the field.

How It Happened
•    Nick Davidson (Lumberton, N.J.) got the Bears on the board first with a bucket in the paint. Bloomfield raced out to a 7-0 run after a long range three-pointer from Ignacio Diez (Madrid, Spain). The visitors flex to an eleven-point advantage (15-4) before the Clippers knocked in ten straight to pull to within 15-14
•    Bloomfield remained in control and reopened their 11-point margin (33-22) with 4:49 to go in the opening half. The Bears settled for a 41-35 edge as the teams went into the locker rooms. The visitors shot a cool 50.0 percent from the field (17-of-34) as Ignacio Diez (Madrid, Spain) led the way with 10 points on 4-of-6 from the floor  
•    In a classic tale of two halves, Concordia shot a blistering 55.6 percent from the field (20-36) and held the Bears to just 36.1 percent  (13-36). It took the home team less than four minutes to draw even at, 49-49 and they never looked back from there
•    The Clippers reeled off the next eight-straight points to push the visitors on their heels. Bloomfield never recovered and fell behind by 19 (93-74) with less than two minutes remaining on the clock before Concordia closed out the upset
 
Up Next: The regionally ranked Bears will try to bounce back on Saturday when the Cougars of Caldwell University stop by the Den for another CACC North Division showdown.  A win would clinch the division regular season title for Bloomfield and be a proper send off as they celebrate Senior Day prior to the 3:00 pm tip-off.
