ASHLAND, Va – Randolph-Macon brought the defense, but No. 17 Christopher Newport had the equating offense that saw 53 shots total between the two teams. Two of the Captains' shots found the goal as the Yellow Jackets fell to CNU 2-0.

Randolph-Macon held the Captains off for 28 minutes, despite a volley of 33 shots in the first half. The Captains found the goal with seven minutes to go in the half, which came off a second chance opportunity.

A second goal came for CNU in minute 61 on another rebound. It was one of 16 shots for CNU in the second half.

Senior goalkeeper Kelsey Stanley (Bumpass, Va. / Louisa County) saved 22 shots and her teammates added five more to total 27 saves on the night. Stanley played all 70 minutes and allowed just the two goals to CNU despite the Captains trying 49 shots.
