Orangeburg, NY (2/25/11)  The Dominican College men's basketball team closed out the first half with a 20-4 run and stayed hot to start the second half with a 20-11 tear as they defeated the visiting Lightning of Goldey-Beacom College, 83-73, this evening in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game held on Coach Baxter Court on Senior Night.
