 BLOOMFIELD,
N.J. - The Caldwell College women's basketball team lost a Central Atlantic
Collegiate Conference contest at Bloomfield College, 83-76 Wednesday evening
at the Bloomfield Gymnasium. The Cougars, who fell to the Deacons earlier
this season, are now 8-10 overall and 6-7 in the conference, while the
Deacons improve to 10-6, 9-3 CACC.
Caldwell used an 11-0 run, sparked by nine points from senior guard
Shannon Coyle (Matawan, NJ/St. John Vianney), to jump out to a 22-10
lead at the 10:50 mark of the first half. But Bloomfield took control of the
game at that point, reeling off 29 points to just three for Caldwell to grab
a 39-25 lead with 1:35 left in the half. A three-pointer by junior guard
Khaliqa Davis (Newark, NJ/Bloomfield Tech) and four points from Coyle
helped the Cougars close the gap to 39-32 before halftime.
The Deacons built the lead back up to 17 after an 8-0 run made the score
62-45 with 8:47 remaining. Caldwell was able to reduce the deficit to 77-71
with a three by Coyle with 40 seconds on the clock. But time ran out for the
Cougars, who lost to the Deacons for the eighth straight time.
Coyle led Caldwell with 19 points to go with four steals while playing all
40 minutes. Sophomore forward Mackenzie Lynch (Wayne, NJ/DePaul
Catholic) had 16 points and eight rebounds, Davis finished with 12 points,
seven assists and five steals, and junior guard Phylicia Holmes
(Roselle, NJ/Roselle) had 12 boards to go with nine points and three steals.
Marissa Franklin led all scorers with 26 points on 12-of-19 shooting from
the floor. Shantae Barnes helped Bloomfield enjoy a 47-34 advantage on the
glass by grabbing 18 rebounds in the win.
The Cougars next play host to the University of Sciences on Saturday, Jan.
27. Game time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in the George R. Newman Center.
