• The Short Story: Senior captain Kerri Kline (Hagerstown, Md./Saint James) cemented her place in the St. Mary's College of Maryland women's basketball record books Wednesday night at No. 10/13 Christopher Newport University. Kline connected on three three-pointers to break the school record for three-point field goals made in a career.

How It Happened

• Both teams struggled to find the basket tonight but Christopher Newport was buoyed by a 30-point first quarter in route to its fifth consecutive victory.
• The two sides combined for just six points in the second period as the Captains headed into the locker room with a 35-10 halftime advantage.
• CNU only outscored the Seahawks, 29-23, over the final two quarters of play.
