No. 11 Christopher Newport saw its season come to a close with a 7-2 loss to top-ranked Virginia Wesleyan in the championship round of the Newport News Regional on Sunday afternoon, while Salisbury's regional final was postponed to Monday due to rain. 

CNU fell in a must-win game vs. the Marlins, the defending Division III national champions. Virginia Wesleyan advances to the best-of-three super segional round next weekend vs. Berry. 

Meanwhile, in Ewing, N.J. on the campus of TCNJ, Salisbury's NCAA regional championship against No. 8 Moravian was postponed due to inclement weather. It has been rescheduled for Monday at noon. A win sends Salisbury to the super regional round, while a Moravian win would force a winner-take-all contest later on Monday afternoon. 

CNU, appearing in its 12th straight NCAA postseason, grabbed a 2-1 lead only to see the Marlins score three times in the fifth inning and three more times in the sixth frame. Sophomore Hanna Hull went the distance for the Marlins, raising her record to 33-2 on the season as the Marlins improved to 48-2. The Captains left 10 runners on base, and finished the season with a 37-10 record.

The Captains opened the scoring in the top of the third on a sacrifice fly off the bat of sophomore first baseman Calah Savage. After the Marlins pulled even at 1-1 with a run in the bottom of the third, CNU jumped back ahead thanks to a solo home run from freshman Patty Maye Ohanian, her 12th of the season and fourth of the regional in as many games. Ohanian also started in the pitching circle for CNU, and took the loss to finish the year 5-2...allowing four runs in five innings of work on a sunny and pleasant day at Captains Park.

Virginia Wesleyan senior first baseman Cassetty Howerin was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Regional, going four-for-eight over the weekend and driving in six runs. Three other Marlins were named to the All-Regional squad; sophomore pitcher Hanna Hull, freshman second baseman Katelyn Biando, who drove in three runs on Sunday, and senior shortstop Kiersten Richardson.

CNU placed three on the All-Regional squad; senior shortstop Rachael Payne, senior centerfielder Leah Andrews, and Ohanian. The squad also included sophomore outfielders Taylor Doi and Rachel Julie from Gettysburg and Messiah sophomore infielder Samantha Esper.
