Bloomfield College defeated first-place conference rival Dominican College in a dramatic 69-68 home victory last night. The win marks the 200th in the decorated head coaching career of Deacons head coach Gerald Holmes, who reaches the plateau in his 11th season at the helm of the program. During his tenure, Bloomfield has captured five CACC Tournament Championships and earned four trips to the NCAA Tournament, securing the first East Regional Tournament Championship in the history of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference and the school’s first Elite Eight appearance during the 2010-2011 season. Bloomfield has totaled six 20-win seasons in Holmes’ ten full seasons on the sidelines, the program reaching unprecedented heights and establishing itself as a perennial power in Division II Basketball’s East Region during his spectacular tenure.
