SALISBURY, MD- The Christopher Newport basketball teams continue a busy eight-day stretch Wednesday night. The CNU men and women travel to Salisbury, MD, for a Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader vs. Salisbury University. The women's game tips off at 5:30 p.m. followed by the men's game at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Both squads will be playing the third of four games in an eight day span, and both look to continue their winning ways.

Bill Broderick's women's team has won 12 straight games, and are now 17-2 overall this season. The Captains moved up in both the D3hoops.com and USA Today Sports Division III Coaches' Top 25 this week, ranked 13th nationally in both polls. The Captains are 9-1 in the CAC standings, just a half game back of first-place York College (Pa.).

Broderick, in his second year with the Captains, has posted an impressive 46-5 overall mark for a 90.2% winning percentage on the CNU sideline.
