Four CAC teams are ranked in the IWLCA National Rankings, with Salisbury at No. 5, York at No. 10, Mary Washington at No. 16 and St. Mary's at No. 18 ... Christopher Newport sophomore Sarah Culver scored 13 goals last week, all of which came over the course of 90 minutes of game action.

The following day, she one-upped herself with seven strikes during Christopher Newport's 17-14 triumph at Haverford. That total established a new career-high for the sophomore, eclipsing her previous standard established 24 hours earlier. Overall, her 13 goals during the two-day stretch marked the second-most by a Captain in consecutive games in program history, trailing only Ashton Marshall's 14 tallies during back-to-back contests at Methodist and Guilford in 2012 ...

Kopf began the week with a hat trick and an assist in the home-opening win over Virginia Wesleyan before adding a career-best three ground balls, two goals, and an assist in a close win over Dickinson. She also contributed two caused turnovers and a draw control during the week ...
