NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Christopher Newport plays host to the College of New Jersey Monday afternoon at the Freeman Center. Tipoff time is set for 3:00 p.m. The Captains, 14-2 on the season, are ranked ninth in the nation and are riding an 11-game winning streak.

Monday's contest, which was added to the schedule this week as a replacement game, will have free admittance and open seating for all fans at the Freeman Center. Spectators are reminded to wear masks at all times while in the Freeman Center, where the Captains are 10-0 this season.

"We're very fortunate and grateful that we were able to schedule this game with TCNJ," Head Coach John Krikorian said. "They were looking to fill a couple of holes on their schedule thanks to CoVID, and we've lost games at York and Catholic, so it just worked out. Our guys obviously want to play as much as we can, and I think it's going to be a good test for us."
