The conference doubleheader will begin at 5:30 pm with the women's game, followed immediately with a 7:30 pm tilt between the men's squads.

In tonight's women's game, the Captains (18-5, 13-3) will take on the Hornets (9-14, 6-10) as the hosts will try to play spoiler against CNU. Christopher Newport is currently tied for second in the league with Greensboro College with seeding for the upcoming USA South Conference Tournament yet to be determined.
