How It Happened

• The Bears spotted the home team the first bucket of the game on a three pointer and then reeled off the next six points to take an early 6-3 advantage. Bloomfield settled for an 11-10 lead at the end of the 1^st quarter as both teams struggled shooting the ball in the opening frame
• The 2^nd quarter yielded similar fruits as the visitors managed to come out on top, 24-21 by the halftime break. Each team made just eight shots from the floor across the first two quarters and neither shot more than twenty-six percent from the field
• Bloomfield used a 10-2 run midway through the 3^rd period and built a ten-point advantage (41-31) fueled by eight points from McKenzie as the sophomore dominated the quarter. The Bears swung the momentum of the game and put the Lions on their heels down, 47-35 by the end of the stanza. The CACC North Division leaders saw their DMV forward end the 3^rd quarter with 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor
• The Bears sealed the deal in the 4^th quarter and captured their 5^th consecutive win and 7^th straight CACC victory with just six more games remaining in the regular season

 
Up Next: Bloomfield will hibernate for a week before continuing their four-game CACC road trip. The third leg of the away-from-home swing will feature a trip back to the 'City of Brotherly Love' this time to face the Tigers of Holy Family University on Saturday, Feb. 4^th at 1:00 pm.
