WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Christopher Newport University men's basketball team looks to bounce back from its first loss of the season, as the Captains travel to play the Catholic University of America Saturday. Tip off is set for 3:00 p.m. at Franny Murray Court on the Catholic campus.

John Krikorian's Captains, ranked ninth in the pre-season poll from D3hoops.com, fell to second-ranked Randolph-Macon College at the Freeman Center on Wednesday night, 71-65. The loss evened CNU's record at 1-1 to open the new year. The Captains traveled to Pennsylvania and beat Penn State Altoona in their opener, 86-67.

Through the opening two games, the Captains have been led in scoring by juniors Tyson Henderson and Toa Hollenebeck. Henderson is averaging 12.5 points per game while Hollenbeck is scoring 10.5 points per outing. CNU has been led in the rebounding column by senior Collin Hines, who is pulling down 6.5 boards per game so far.

Catholic is also 1-1, and split two games last weekend in a tournament at Hood College in Frederick, Md. The Cardinals opened the season with an 82-65 victory over Lynchburg, but fell to the host school, Hood, last Saturday in overtime, 109-106.

Saturday's game will be the sixth all-time meeting of the programs, and Catholic holds a 3-2 lead in the series. This will be the fourth time the Captains have played at Catholic, and the first since March of 2000  when the teams met in the NCAA Tournament, with Catholic holding on in the final seconds to win, 65-64. The last four games in the series have been decided by a total of just seven points, and Christopher Newport logged an 80-78 victory in the last meeting of the schools in November of 2017 in the Hood Tournament in Frederick, Md.

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 2:40 p.m. Saturday afternoon. The live CNU radio broadcast can be accessed at the link provided above.
