BOWIE, M.D. – The Bloomfield College women's basketball team hit the road to the DMV area to take on the Bulldogs of Bowie State University and suffered a 61-51 setback Saturday afternoon in non-conference play. Junior guard, Zhane Robinson (Newark, N.J.) shot 50 percent from the field (5-for-10) for the second time this season but it was not enough as her and senior guard, Tianna Smith (Spring Valley, N.Y.) were the only Bears that scored in double-figures (14, 12).
