WALTHAM, MASS - The Bloomfield College men's basketball team slid to 0-2 to start a season for the first time since 2015 after a, 100-73 setback against Bentley University Sunday evening. The Falcons remain perfect at 2-0 after hosting the Tip-Off Classic at the Dana Center over the weekend.
After pulling to a, 13-13 tie with just over thirteen minutes in the opening frame, Bentley used a 24-5 outburst to distance themselves from the Bears and eventually went into the half up, 50-27. The Bloomfield offense shot 25.0 percent from the field (10-of-40) including 23.1 percent from beyond the arc (3-of-13) in the first half. The Bears offense woke up in the second half but it was too late as the Tip-Off hosts cruised to the non-conference win.
Senior
Kavione Green (Amityville, NY) had a strong performance, going 9-of-18 from the field for a team-high 22 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Bloomfield guard,
Keith Washington (Philadelphia, PA) chipped in 16 points, all in the second half while red-shirt sophomore,
Rich Chapman (Newark, NJ) had a career-high 12 points and 8 boards.
