NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- The Christopher Newport women's lacrosse team will cap off the 2014 regular season on Saturday when the squad hosts No. 12 York in a Capital Athletic Conference tilt at 1 p.m. at Captains Turf Field.

Riding a two-game roll, CNU enters the contest with a 9-6 record, including a 3-3 mark in conference action. York has won six straight games and stands at 12-3 on the year, including 5-1 in league play. With just one game remaining, the Spartans have already locked up the No. 2 seed in the upcoming CAC Tournament, while the Captains will enter as either the No. 4 or No. 5 depending on the outcome of Saturday's league slate.

Although both teams were in the same regional last year during the NCAA Tournament, York and CNU have never faced each other in women's lacrosse.
