Keith Parr's squad is coming off a 3-1 loss at Virginia Wesleyan University on Friday afternoon, a defeat that snapped a five-game Captains winning streak. The second game of the scheduled doubleheader in Virginia Beach was postponed due to rain.

Since beginning their all-time series in 1985, the Captains and Eagles have played 30 times. CNU has a 19-11 record vs. BC, and the Captains have won the last four games, including a sweep last year at Captains Park by scores of 11-2 and 4-3.
