Can A Hard Hit To The Cheekbone Cause Concussion?

Possibly broken cheekbone and now concussion symptoms 1-2 days later? I hit my cheekbone in rugby and my left side of my face swelled up and is currently badly bruised. I was a little dissy on the field when I first hurt it and just kept playing thinking id be fine. I had no headaches or dissy after the game and did not experience anything else that night but the next day during a hockey game I started to get mild headaches that got worse as the night went on. The next day (today) i got the headaches again while at a hockey clinic and they have gotten really bad as the days gone on and I have felt like I am going to throw up for the past hour.. Is it possible to get a concussion from a hit to the cheekbone?
