PHILADELPHIA, Pa. –Two double-doubles and five players in double-digits was not enough for the top team in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division as Bloomfield fell on the road to the Tigers of Holy Family University Saturday afternoon, 90-85. The wild inter-divisional battle featured Ignacio Diez (Madrid, Spain) notched a double-double in his first start of the season, scoring a team-high 18 points to go along with 11 boards. Rakwan Kelly (Newark, N.J.) also recorded a double-double (15 points and 11 rebounds) while Nick Davidson (Lumberton, N.J.) added 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field but the Bears had no answer for Randy Bell and Dyllion Hudson-Emory who willed their team to victory with 38 and 25 points respectively.
