The CNU women's squad is ranked second and third in two national polls in Division III.

Fellow seniors Mackenzie Fancher and Bailey Dufrene also tallied a dozen points each, and senior Sam Porter finished with 11. Porter is now just three points shy of 1,000 for her career.

The Captains will be hosting a Frostburg State squad that is also 1-0 in the CAC, as the Bobcats opened conference play Wednesday at home with a 66-55 triumph over Penn State-Harrisburg. FSU is 4-2 overall so far this season.

On the men's side, the Captains are 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the CAC thanks to a 71-66 victory over Salisbury on Wednesday night at the Freeman Center.

Big men Savonte Chappell (14 points) and Spencer Marin (11 points and eight rebounds) also excelled for the Captains, who won over Salisbury for the sixth time in the last seven meetings.
