NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- The 16th-ranked Christopher Newport women's lacrosse team will look to bounce back after a pair of hard-fought overtime setbacks when the squad hosts Randolph-Macon on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Captains Turf Field.

CNU enters the contest at 0-2 despite taking Washington & Lee and Roanoke to extra sessions. Randolph-Macon sits at 1-0 following an 18-9 victory over Greensboro on Wednesday.

One of Christopher Newport's longest-running rivalries, the Captains have battled the Yellow Jackets 11 times with R-MC holding a slim 6-5 edge in the all-time series. CNU has won the previous two meetings, including a 12-10 victory in Ashland last year. During that contest, current Captains Ashton Marshall and Kylie Chaplin both recorded hat-tricks, while Hanna Slough notched 10 saves to earn the victory.
