NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -
Christopher Newport University begins a stretch of four straight road games on Wednesday evening, as the Captains head to Baltimore, Md., to take on the Blue Jays of Johns Hopkins University. Tip off time is set for 6:00 p.m. at Goldfarb Gymnasium. CNU is 13-3 on the season, while the Blue Jays are 5-5 entering the Wednesday night showdown.

The Captains have won their last four games, and are ranked 12th in the country this week in the national poll from D3hoops.com. John Krikorian's squad is coming off an 83-76 win over Emory University Saturday at the Freeman Center. Emory was undefeated at the time and ranked first in the poll.

Fifth-year senior All-American Jahn Hines led the Captains on Saturday with 19 points. Hines, a three-time All-American, was selected the Player of the Week in the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference this week for the third time this season. The Norfolk native contributed four key points in the final two-and-a-half minutes, and also pulled down four rebounds, dished out four assists, posted four steals, and blocked two shots. Hines moved into sixth place on CNU's all-time scoring list during the impressive victory, passing Tra Benefield. He has now scored 1,796 career points in 110 games as a Captain (an average of 16.3 points per game for his career), and is currently 25 points behind Conley Taylor for fifth place on the all-time scoring chart.

The Blue Jays evened their record at 5-5 with a road victory on Saturday at Stevenson, 78-72. CNU and Johns Hopkins will be playing for the sixth time, and the Captains hold a 4-1 lead in the all-time series. Last season on November 18th at the Freeman Center, the Captains prevailed over the Blue Jays by a score of 75-73. The schools have split two previous battles in Baltimore.
