NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- The undefeated CNU women's basketball team will put their sterling record on the line away from home tonight, as they kick off a long road trip that will span over the next month with a game at cross-water rival Virginia Wesleyan College (5-4). Tip-off is set for 6:00 pm in Virginia Beach at the Batten Center, with live stats and live video available at CNUsports.com. 

Monday evening's game will be the first of nine straight away from the Freeman Center, including eight in a row after the holiday break. CNU will take on the Marlins and St. Mary's College (Md.) in non-conference action before hitting the road for seven straight in conference action.

Virginia Wesleyan features a young squad with just one senior in 2012-13, after going 22-6 and reaching the ODAC Championship game last year. The team has opened with seven of their first nine games on the road, winners of four of the last five. Sophomore guard Sarah Seipp is leading the offense, averaging 13.9 points per game.
