NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -
Christopher Newport University continues a four-game home stretch on Wednesday night, as the 18th-ranked Captains entertain the Saints of Marymount University. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. at the Freeman Center.

John Krikorian's squad is coming off a record-setting three-point effort on Sunday in CNU's 72-64 home win over Franklin & Marshall. The Captains made 11 of 18 from long range, establishing a new mark for three-point field goal percentage in a game (61.1 percent). The long ball barrage came in the Championship game of the Holiday Inn Invitational. Sophomore Toa Hollenbeck, named the MVP of the two-day tourney, knocked down six of eight threes in the game and finished with a new career high of 24 points.

Sophomore point guard Tyson Henderson was named to the All-Tournament team following a double-double in Sunday's title game. Henderson scored 14 points and also dished out 11 assists, the most assists in a game since Paul Meredith logged 11 in 2010.

Sunday's victory improved Christopher Newport's record to 7-2 on the season. Marymount enters Wednesday night's battle with a 5-2 mark, and the Saints have lost to two quality opponents in Johns Hopkins and Catholic to date. The game with MU will be the 30th in the all-time series, and the Captains have won the last four to open a 25-4 edge. The series began in 1987.

Wednesday night will be Greek Life Night at the Freeman Center. Tickets for the game will be available at the Freeman Center Ticket Office.

Christopher Newport games are broadcast live on the Home of the Captains, Xtra 99.1 FM and CNUsports.com. The pre-game show will begin at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday night.
