NEWPORT NEWS, Va.- With the start of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament less than two weeks away, the Christopher Newport men's and women's basketball teams face four important games remaining on the regular-season schedule. Wednesday night in Fredericksburg, the Captains will take on the Eagles of Mary Washington in a CAC doubleheader. The women's game will begin at 6:00 p.m. followed by the men's game at approximately 8:00 p.m. at the Anderson Center.

Live stats and video will be available for both games at CNUsports.com/live...and the men's game will also be broadcast live on the Christopher Newport/Pepsi Radio Network (Xtra 99.1 FM).

Both CNU squads are coming off home wins Saturday over Wesley, and both had tight battles with the Eagles earlier this season at the Freeman Center.

The CNU women, now 13-8 overall and 9-5 in league play, lost to the Eagles on January 21st, 71-66. Bill Broderick's squad is in fourth place in the CAC standings, one game behind Marymount and three games behind Mary Washington. Salisbury tops the league standings with a 14-0 conference mark.

The Mary Washington women's squad is 16-5 overall and 12-2 in conference play.

On the men's side, the Captains remain tied for third in the CAC with a 10-4 league mark. John Krikorian's team is now 15-6 overall heading into Wednesday night's action. CNU is tied with Salisbury, one game behind Marymount and two games back of St. Mary's.

The Captains won Saturday without the services of injured starters Marcus Carter (back) and Tim Daly (ankle). Their status is questionable for Wednesday night's game with the Eagles.

CNU outlasted a stubborn Mary Washington squad at the Freeman Center on January 21st, 53-49. The Eagles are 5-16 overall and 5-9 in the CAC.

Following Wednesday night's doubleheader, the Captains will host Marymount on Saturday at the Freeman Center in the final home regular-season games of the year. The Senior Day action will begin at 2:00 p.m.
