FERRUM, Va. - The CNU women swept their trip against the second and third place teams in the USA South with a 74-60 victory over Ferrum Sunday afternoon that ran their perfect record to 15-0.

In this one, Ferrum scored the game's first two points, but once CNU got a layup from Barabra Davis and two free throws from Kimmy Hopkins, the Captains were never headed.
Chelsie Schweers once again led CNU in scoring with 18 points and closed to within two points of equalling Tia Moore as the third leading scorer in CNU women's baskretball history. She also led the Captains with six rebounds and had four steals.
Davis scored 17 points, just one short of her CNU high, making all six of her shots and five of six free throws. Jessica Moore added 11 points and Lauren Gural had 10.
CNU shot an even 50 percent, 27-54, and limited the Panthers to just 37 percent.
