After back-to-back seasons as the number three team overall in Region 1, Christopher Newport University finally broke the Goucher/Mary Washington stronghold on Champion and/or Reserve Champion honors in 2011-12. The Captains scored 225 points (four more than in 2010-11) and finished second overall for the first time in program history.
