The Goldey-Beacom Lightning’s historic pursuit of a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference championship ended in heartbreak Saturday night, falling to Felician University by a final score of 91-81 in the title game held in Caldwell, New Jersey.
The Lightning entered the championship contest seeking to capture the program’s first-ever CACC title, but were unable to overcome their opponents in the decisive matchup. Despite the loss, the team’s run to the conference finals represents a significant achievement for the Wilmington-based college basketball program.
The 10-point margin of defeat shows the Lightning remained competitive throughout the contest, though they ultimately could not complete their championship aspirations against Felician in the winner-take-all finale.
