Christopher Newport ousted host Ferrum 75-66 in the NCAA Women's Basketball Second Round, while York's season came to an end with a 67-52 defeat to visiting Baldwin Wallace on Saturday. 

CNU now advances to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the third time in the last four years, and will take on the winner of Whitman and Whitworth, a contest that was tipping off at 10 p.m. EST on Saturday, in next week's sectional round. 

In front of a capacity crowd at Swartz Gymnasium on the campus of Ferrum, the Captains were led by senior Nicole Mitchell with 20 points. She was one of four players in double figures for CNU, including Camry Green who posted her third straight double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds. 

CNU and Ferrum battled back-and-forth in the first half, before the Captains took a two-point edge, 35-33. The Captains took control of the contest in the second, bursting out of the break on a 17-6 run to take a 13-point lead, 52-39. The spurt took just over six and half minutes of game clock as CNU grabbed control offensively. 

The lead would build all the way to 17 points at 58-41 with 12:15 remaining. As Ferrum pushed back, the Captains managed to answer each time. In the final ten minutes, the Captains held onto a double-digit lead for the majority, withstanding every run by the Panthers and answering back from the interior. Green, Mitchell and sophomore Kendra Stone. 

CNU held a significant advantage in second-chance points, with a 17-5 margin, and points off turnovers, at 18-9. In program history, the Captains now own a winning record in the NCAA Tournament, improving to 17-16. That mark includes a 12-4 run in their last four trips to the big dance, with four straight trips to the NCAA Sweet 16.

In York's (26-3) 67-52 loss to Baldwin Wallace (22-6) , the Yellow Jackets locked down the Spartans defensively to earn the win. 

Brittany Hicks poured in a game-high 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for York in the loss for her school-record 42^nd double-double. She was 8-for-19 from the floor, 1-for-2 from three and 13-for-17 from the free throw line.  Kristen Haley added 13 points and six rebounds in her final time putting on the Green and White.

The first half was tight as neither team could gain any significant momentum. The Yellow Jackets pulled out to a five-point lead on an Alissa Munro triple midway through the half. BW eventually pushed the lead to six on a pair of Shari Mangas free throws at the 5:34 mark.

Hicks single-handedly kept the Green and White game in the first half, providing a personal 7-0 spurt to give York a short-lived 24-23 lead with 3:39 remaining in the half. The teams went back and forth over the final 2:25 of the half as York edged out to a 34-32 lead at the break.

The Yellow Jackets wasted no time climbing back in front, tallying 10 of the first 12 points of the half to take a 42-36 lead just over four minutes into the second half.

The Green and White cut the Yellow Jacket lead to three on four different occasions, but Balwdin Wallace put together a clinching 11-3 run over the next five minutes as the Spartans faced a 61-50 with 4:24 left in the game.

York cut the lead to nine with 3:49 left on Haley lay up with 3:49 remaining, but that's as close as York would get the rest of the way.
