Four CAC Fall Championships Set for Saturday

The fall championship season is in full swing as four CAC Champions will be crowned on Saturday in field hockey, men's soccer, women's soccer and volleyball. 

The CAC men's and women's soccer games will be hosted by Christopher Newport in Newport News, Va., Salisbury will host the field hockey championship in Salisbury, Md., and Mary Washington will host the volleyball title match in Fredericksburg, Va.

This is UMW's first championship appearance since 2010 and fifth overall. The Eagles are seeking their second CAC title, with the other coming in 1991 - the first year of CAC volleyball.

CNU is seeking its first CAC title, while the Bobcats hope to capture their third conference title in the last five seasons. Frostburg State previously won the crown in 2012 and 2014. This will be the second appearance in four seasons for the Captains in the championship, with a 1-1 draw to York in 2013 as their previous appearance.
