NEW HAVEN, Conn. (March 5, 2019) -- Chalk held firm on Tuesday night during the quarterfinals of the 2018-19 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Basketball Championship, as the top-two seeds in both the North and South Divisions were victorious.
Overall No. 1 seed Bloomfield College (North #1) downed South No. 4 Wilmington University by a count of 105-86, while South No. 1 Jefferson pulled away for an 85-65 win over North No. 4 Felician University. Dominican College (N#2) clipped Holy Family University (S#3) by a count of 70-59, while Goldey-Beacom College (S#2) hung on for an 86-78 victory over Caldwell University (N#3).
N#1 BLOOMFIELD 105, S#4 WILMINGTON 86
Kavione Green, who earlier in the day was named the 2018-19 CACC Player and Defensive Player of the Year, poured in a team-high 31 points to lead the Bears to the opening-round win over the Wildcats. He also ripped down 13 rebounds, as the Bears held a commanding 55-28 advantage on the glass. Matt Lajeunesse added a double-double with 12 poins and 11 boards. Keith Washington also got into the double-double act for Bloomfield with 11 points and 16 assists. The Bears shot 52 percent from the field. Game-high scoring honors went to WilmU's Jermaine Head, who netted 34 in the setback.
Bloomfield, Jefferson, Dominican and G-B all advance to Saturday's CACC Men's Basketball Championship semifinals, which will be held at Caldwell University in Caldwell, N.J. Bloomfield will face Goldey-Beacom in the afternoon's first game at 12 p.m., while Jefferson and Dominican will square off afterwards at approximately 2 p.m.
The Jefferson-Dominican affair marks the third-consecutive year the two will square off in the postseason with each side earning a win the previous two meetings. The Chargers knocked off the Rams in the CACC semis back in 2017 at Caldwell, while Jefferson returned the favor with a win in the CACC Championship Final last year.
Bloomfield will be seeking its second CACC crown in the last three seasons, as the Bears last won the conference back in 2017, which was also held at Caldwell. Goldey-Beacom is making its second-consecutive appearance in the CACC semis.
