    During the 2024 season, CNU softball made their record 17th straight NCAA appearance. After winning conference and the first round of NCAA regional play, the team went on to super regionals and came up just short of a national championship return. At the conclusion of the season the Captains finished as the number 10 ranked team. 

    As a National Championship softball program, Christopher Newport wants to position our Captains to achieve success each year. Playing a strong strength of schedule is critical to the overall athletic experience and helps position the team much better for postseason opportunities. 

    Additional funding for travel is necessary to ensure our Captains can play the most challenging schedule possible both away and home. In addition to travel, the team uses funds for apparel such as new uniforms. We also have needs for additional equipment to help them perform optimally on the field through better development and technology. 

    CNU Softball is always striving to be the very best in the nation and the team is fortunate to return a great group of players from last year. Nine newcomers will also be stepping foot on campus this fall to round out a phenomenal team who have the talent to achieve another special season together. 

    Every gift makes a positive impact on the student-athlete experience here at Christopher Newport. Because of your support, we can ensure that Christopher Newport has the best softball experience in Division III.
