BOWIE, MD– Kavione Green (Amityville, NY) used his second career double-double to help lift the Bears men's basketball team to their first win of the 2018-2019 season on Saturday evening. Bloomfield secured a, 75-71 decision on the road against regional opponent, Bowie State as the senior forward poured in 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in the win.
 
The teams played a deadlocked first half and went into the locker rooms tied at 35-35. The visitors shot an efficient, 51.7 percent from the field (15-for-29) while the Bulldogs struggled, shooting just 33.3 percent (14-for-42).  Green secured his double-double in the opening half, netting 14 points and snagging 10 boards by the break. The second frame saw the Bears go up by as many as twelve (66-54) with less than six minutes to play in the game.  Bowie State (0-4) pulled to within, 74-71 with only thirty-four tics remaining on the clock but Dontay Julius (Linden, NJ) sank a freethrow that concluded the scoring and lifted the visitors to 1-3 for the year.  
 
Julius finished the evening with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field followed by Matt Lageunesse (Union, NJ) who recorded his first double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 boards. Keith Washington (Philadelphia, PA) joined the Bears top scorers for the non-conference game, netting 10 points.
 
Bloomfield enjoys some time off for the holiday season before returning for action with another highly anticipated regional match up on Wednesday, November 28^th. The Spartans from Saint Thomas Aquinas (STAC) roll out the welcome mat for a scheduled 7:00 pm tip-off as they look for some redemption of a, 91-78 upset loss to the Bears in last season's NCAA Tournament East Region opening round.
