CALDWELL, N.J. - The Bloomfield College men's basketball team defeated Caldwell College, 91-67 to repeat as Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament champions on Saturday at Caldwell College's Newman Center. The Deacons (23-7), who were CACC co-champions during the regular season, earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament with the victory. This is the first season that the CACC Tournament champion automatically qualifies for the national tournament.
Bloomfield jumped out to an early 8-0 lead in the first half on three-pointers by Daniel Terrell (Somerdale, NJ) and CACC Player of the Year Andre Dabney (Plainfield, NJ), and a lay-up from Javier Salson (Madrid, Spain). The Cougars battled back, eventually tying the game at 25-25 after a lay-up by freshman forward Manny Perez (Egg Harbor, NJ/Egg Harbor) with 3:53 left in the half. But Bloomfield finished the half with a 12-4 run, including threes from Dabney and Terrell, to take a 37-29 lead into the break.After Terrell and senior guard Ron Harris (Trenton, NJ/Trenton Central) traded three-pointers to start the second half, the Deacons began to pull away. With the score 46-37 at the 15:29 mark, Bloomfield went on a 25-7 spree that saw seven different Deacons score at least two points. The lead would balloon to 78-48, as the Cougars would get no closer than 18 points the rest of the way.
Bloomfield was hot from three-point range, hitting 15-of-27 (55.6
percent) from beyond the arc. The Cougars struggled to find an offensive rhythm, shooting 35.9 percent from the floor for the game.Dabney, who scored 46 points in the semifinal round against Felician, finished with 16 points and received the CACC Tournament's Most Valuable Player award. Salson and forward Rob Lawrence (Plainfield, NJ) had 14 and 12 points, respectively, and joined Dabney on the AdPro Team Sports All-Tournament Team. Terrell led Bloomfield with 19 points. Harris and Perez also made the All-Tournament squad, scoring 21 points apiece. Perez grabbed 11 rebounds to record his fifth double-double of the season.
