RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Led by a game-high 16 points from senior Ariel Wilson (Chesapeake, Va.) the Bloomfield College women's basketball team soared to a 75-49 victory over the Golden Falcons Wednesday evening at the Job Gymnasium. The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division match up win improved the Bears to a perfect 10-0 in league action and 14-5 overall. The setback dropped Felician University to 1-16 on the season and 1-9 in conference play.

Layups from Golden and sophomore Alexia' Tucker (Halifax, Va.) helped the Bears to a 5-0 lead just 2:15 in as Bloomfield led the match from wire to wire.  By the end of the first quarter, the visiting Bears held a 21-7 advantage.  The second period scoring opened with a Wilson jumper and before the teams headed to their locker rooms, the Bloomfield senior created a steal and converted a fast break layup that closed the scoring for the half at 41-20.
 
A quick 6-2 spurt capped by senior Iman Williams' (Shreveport, La.) bucket in the paint gave Bloomfield their largest lead in the third quarter (47-22) just 2:03 in. The Bears lead never dipped below twenty during the quarter and two free throws from Williams gave the undefeated CACC North Division squad a 57-34 edge heading into the final period.
 
The fourth quarter saw the Golden Falcons deficit grow to thirty-one before two jumpers in the final minute closed the gap to the 75-49 final talley.
 
Williams chipped in nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 FT) and six boards, while Tucker tallied five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3FG) and four assists.
