The CAC men's and women's basketball championship games are both set to be played at Salisbury on Saturday, with the Mary Washington women and Christopher Newport men traveling to Maggs Physical Activities Center with NCAA Tournament bids on the line. 

On the women's side, top-seeded Salisbury (24-2) hosts second-seeded Mary Washington (20-6) at 2 p.m. The Sea Gulls, ranked 18th in the nation and second in the Mid-Atlantic Region, defeated the Eagles in both meetings this season. Salisbury captured a 69-63 triumph in Fredericksburg on Jan. 7 and won 65-54 on Feb. 7 in Salisbury. 

Salisbury advanced to the title game for the first time since 2003 with a comeback 76-61 victory over York in Thursday's semifinals, while UMW returns to the title game for the third time in the last four years after defeating Marymount 60-46. 

For the men, second-seeded Salisbury (19-7) hosts fourth-seeded Christopher Newport (20-7) at 4:30 p.m. CNU upended the CAC's top-seeded team in the semifinals for the second straight year, this time eliminating top-seeded St. Mary's 83-69 on Thursday.

Salisbury topped sixth-seeded Mary Washington 59-52 to return the title game for the first time since 2006, while CNU has now reached the championship in each of its first two years in the CAC. The Sea Gulls swept the regular season series over the Captains, posting a 54-48 home victory on Dec. 17 and a 64-57 overtime road win on Feb. 4.
