RUTHERFORD, NJ– The Bloomfield College men's basketball team took their unbeaten Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) record on the road to Job Gymnasium Wednesday night and suffered a 96-90 setback against Felician University. The Bears dropped to 6-1 in conference play and 8-8 overall while the Golden Falcons moved to 6-8 overall and 4-3 in league action.
 
The home team found themselves up 45-41 at the halftime intermission thanks to 52.9 percent shooting from the floor (18-of-34) including 6-for-15 from beyond three-point range. Bloomfield held a 22-18 edge in rebounding but early foul trouble to the CACC Player of the Week, Kavione Green (Amityville, NY) and forward Rich Chapman (Newark, NJ) forced the tandem to watch most of the period from the bench.
 
The visitors quickly erased their deficit with four straight points to start the 2^ndhalf. Felician reestablished a, 72-62 lead with less than ten minutes to play. The Bears dug deep and clawed out three-point advantage (84-81) before a four-point play put the home team back in front as they held on down the stretch.
 
Keith Washington (Philadelphia, PA) led the Bears effort with 26 points. Green finished the night with 22 points and 7 boards. Junior forward, Matt Lajeunesse (Union, NJ) registered a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds while sophomore guard, Tariq McKenith (Newark, NJ) tied a career-high with 10 points.
 
The Bears will return to CACC play on Saturday when they host Goldey-Beacom College at 'The Den'. The Lightning are set to square off with Bloomfield at 3:00 pm.
