Women’s Basketball Dealt 64-54 Loss by Bloomfield



A high-scoring third quarter for Goldey-Beacom was not enough as Bloomfield remained unbeaten in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, handing the home side a 64-54 loss at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
GBC outscored Bloomfield 24-17 in the third quarter to grab a 47-45 lead, shooting 53 percent (8-of-15) from the floor and limited the visitors to just 35 percent (6-of-17).  Mikila Stefanski (Hammonton, NJ) went on a tear in the period with seven points and fellow sophomore Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ), the reigning CACC Player of the Week, dished five assists.
 
But the fourth quarter took a much different turn, especially when neither team could not score for almost four minutes.  Chyna Golden ended that for the Bears (13-4, 9-0 CACC) on a layup with 6:15 that started a 9-0 run, one that wrapped with a 54-48 visitors lead with 3:22 left.
 
Golden scored six points in span.
 
Junior Jazz Lewis (Mount Holly, NJ) hit a layup with 2:45 remaining to bring the Lightning within 54-50.  After a series of misses from both sides, Bruno canned two free throws with 1:13 to play for a 54-52 contest.  But Bloomfield's Ariel Wilson came through in the clutch with a big layup for a 56-52 lead with 50 seconds to go.
 
Lewis committed a turnover on the other end and now GBC (5-13, 5-4) was forced to foul.  It did not make a difference as Bloomfield shot 8-for-8 from the stripe after that with Golden hitting four times.  Wilson's freebies with 33 seconds left made it a 60-52 contest and ultimately ended things.
 
The Bears in the quarter went 9-for-10 from the line and owned a 16-5 rebounding edge to overcome them shooting only 26 percent (5-of-19) from the field.  The Lightning in that span only went 3-for-4 from the stripe and shot 2-of-7 from the field.
 
Golden had 10 points and nine rebounds in the quarter, helping her end the game with 14 and 11.  Tianna Smith overall scored 13 points and Wilson added 10.
 
Lost in all of this was another outstanding game from GBC sophomore Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA), who finished with seven points, 11 rebounds and a career-best seven blocked shots.  She now is seventh in school history with 61 career blocks and her 29 this season have her just three away from her own 10th place single-season total last year.
 
Bruno had 14 points and seven assists, Lewis ended with 11 points and eight rebounds with Stefanski netting 11 points for GBC, which shot 39 percent (18-of-46) from the floor.
 
Goldey-Beacom has over a week before it next game, January 20 at home against Philadelphia University at 6:00 pm.  The men's contest between the schools follows at 8:00 pm.
