NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Bridgewater Eagles (7-5) field hockey team went on the road to do battle with the 17th-ranked Christopher Newport Captains (8-2), and fell by a 5-0 tally.

CNU senior Annie Gehring tallied the first two goals of the game for the captains to take a 2-0 advantage.

Junior Taylor Harrell also netted a pair of Captain goals, while sophomore Paige Childers netted the other CNU tally.

CNU led 4-0 at the break, before tallying an additional goal to round out the scoring at a 5-0 margin.

In the cage, senior netminder Elizabeth Sullivan picked up the loss, allowing four CNU goals. Sophomore Taylor Waddell also split time with Sullivan, allowing one goal.
