BLOOMFIELD, NJ – The Bears men's basketball team, winners of 4-out of their last-5 league matches, welcomed Post University to The Den Wednesday night for a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) north division showdown. The visiting Eagles rose to the occasion with an 84-69 victory  and completed the season sweep of Bloomfield to improve to 14-6 overall and 8-3 in conference matches.
