December 20, 2025 Christopher Newport Recovers After Slow Start to Beat Denison, 79-73 Christopher Newport University used a 23-5 run in the opening half to get the lead over Denison University, and held off the Big Red, 79-73, in the Jay Bilas Classic at Johnson & Wales University. Junior Toa Hollenbeck led the way with 24 points, as four Captains reached double figures in the scoring column. John Krikorian's team fell behind in the early-going, 20-8, but awakened thanks in large part to the three-point shooting of two freshmen, Tyler Sprague and Cam Quarles. Sprague scored 11 first half points, with nine coming on three triples, and Quarles scored six on two long shots to spark the CNU offense. Junior Ethan Ward posted 14 points and senior Collin Hines added ten as Christopher Newport improved to 9-3 on the season. Hines also led the Captains in rebounding with eight for the day.

Dozier also contributed eight rebounds and four assists, and was six-for-ten from the field and five-for-six at the foul line.
