Goldey-Beacom women's basketball picked up its fourth victory in a row and its second win of the new year with a 74-66 triumph over Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference opponent Bloomfield.
The Lightning started off the game strong, leading 24-16 after the first quarter. Bloomfield clawed its way back in heading into halftime with only a five-point deficit. Bloomfield continued their push into the beginning of the fourth quarter where they started off the final 10 minutes of play leading by six. Goldey-Beacom picked up its momentum due to impressive free throw shooting and put up 24 points in the final quarter en route to its second conference victory.
