NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Head coach Justin Chezem announced a game time change for Saturday night's men's soccer matchup against St. Mary's College of Maryland as the Captains will now take the field at 7:00 pm. Originally slated for a 6:00 pm kickoff, the Captains announced the change to account for potential poor weather this weekend. Both teams are receiving votes in the Division III national rankings as CNU (4-3-2) hosts St. Mary's (9-3-0) in the non-conference matchup. 

In conjunction with the time change, Chezem also announced the game could potentially be played at Jennings Family Stadium on the Captains' turf field should playing conditions on the natural grass surface at Captains Field be unplayable. Regardless of location, live stats and a live video webcast will be available on CNUsports.com at the start of play. 

Christopher Newport has won four straight against the Seahawks, running the overall record in the series to 20-5-2 in favor of the Captains. CNU is 12-1-1 at home against St. Mary's (Md.) with an active 13-match unbeaten streak. 

CNU is coming off a 2-1 win against Mary Washington in their last game, getting goals scored by Colin McMunn and Will Collins. Junior Chris Schram is leading the squad in scoring with seven points on three goals and one assist while Cory Hogge is the only other Captain with multiple goals this season. Defensively, fifth-year goalkeeper Cole Irvin has started all nine games and boasts a 1.02 goals-against average so far this season. 

St. Mary's (Md.) has featured a potent attack led by Roshawn Panton with 25 points on 10 goals and five assists. The Seahawks have scored 35 goals with Isaac Ekobo adding five while getting four each from Isaac Ekobo and Casey Cruz. 

Following Saturday night's bout against the Seahawks, the Captains will travel to Northern Virginia on Wednesday, October 13 to take on Johns Hopkins in a neutral site matchup.
