November 4, 2023 Montclair State Hands Christopher Newport First Conference Loss of Season, 19-14 Christopher Newport University had an eight-game home winning streak snapped Saturday afternoon, falling to Montclair State University, 19-14, at Kelchner Field at TowneBank Stadium. The loss leaves the Captains with a 6-3 overall mark and a 4-1 record in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Paul Crowley's squad will end the regular season on Friday night at the College of New Jersey, and a win by the Captains would still give them their first NJAC title since joining the league in 2015. Montclair State used a stellar defensive effort to hand the Captains their first conference loss of the season, and snap a three-game CNU winning streak. The Red Hawks, now 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the NJAC, held CNU to just 21 rushing yards on 22 carries in the game. "They were better than us today," Crowley said following the Senior Day defeat. "Their defense did a great job taking away our run game, and we just made too many mistakes to win the game."
October 21, 2023 Christopher Newport Cruises to 34-10 Homecoming Victory over Kean Christopher Newport University scored a little more than a minute into the opening quarter Saturday afternoon, and never looked back on the way to a 34-10 victory over Kean University at Kelchner Field at TowneBank Stadium. The Captains improved their record to 5-2 overall and 3-0 atop the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Senior quarterback Matt Dzierski threw for three touchdown passes, and sophomore wide receiver Colin Hart scored three times, once on a running play and twice on receptions from Dzierski. The Captains sent a Homecoming crowd of 3,123 home happy on a breezy and pleasant fall day by scoring five touchdowns, and have now won eight straight games at home dating back to last season.
September 30, 2023 Stifling Defensive Effort Leads Christopher Newport over Salisbury, 24-14 Christopher Newport University used a stifling defensive effort Saturday afternoon to hold off Salisbury University, 24-14. The victory, in front of a standing room only crowd of 4,167 at Kelchner Field at TowneBank Stadium, came in the New Jersey Athletic Conference opener for both schools. Paul Crowley's Captains snapped a 21-game Salisbury winning streak in conference action dating back to 2018, and also ended a string of seven straight wins by the Sea Gulls over the Captains in the series.
