Orangeburg, N.Y. (1/9/13)  The Dominican College men's basketball team rallied from a ten-point deficit with 14:22 to play in the second half to defeat the visiting Clippers of Concordia College, 65-55, this evening in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game on Coach Baxter Court at the Hennessy Center.  With the win, DC extends their winning streak to 10 games and improves to 13-2 overall and 7-0 in the CACC.
