NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Christopher Newport University sophomore pitcher Caroline Alger has made quite an impact for the Captains since returning from an injury earlier this month. Alger was again selected the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference's Pitcher of he Week on Monday. It's the third straight week Alger has won the award, and the fourth time this season.

Alger, from Staunton, Va., earned a victory and a save in CNU's doubleheader sweep on Saturday at the University of Mary Washington. She threw her second straight complete game shutout in the opener, allowing just three hits while striking out eight, and then tossed the final two innings of the nightcap to earn her second save of the season.

Alger is now 5-0 and has an earned run average of just 1.12. She missed almost two months of the season from mid February until her return on April 12th.

The Captains are now 26-10 and Keith Parr's team is riding a six-game winning streak following the sweep on Saturday over the Eagles. CNU will conclude the regular season schedule on Sunday at home vs. Salisbury University, with the doubleheader scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Between games of the doubleheader, three former CNU greats will officially have their uniform numbers retired as the Captains honor former pitchers Jamie Martin and Kate Alger, as well as third baseman Brooke Greaver.
