Christopher Newport 71, Clark 65
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — This time it wasn't the second half, it was the last six minutes. Christopher Newport, known for its second half comebacks, rallied from a ten-point deficit with 6:10 to play and defeated St. John's 71-65, to reach the Elite 8. The win came before 2,517 at CNU's Freeman Center.

Christopher Newport will play William Paterson at 7:30 Saturday with a trip to the Final Four on the line. William Paterson ended McMurry's 23-game winning streak with a 77-59 victory.

The Captains trailed much of the game, including a 32-27 deficit at halftime, but took a brief 45-44 lead with 11:44 to play on a jumper by Jermaine Woods. But the Johnnies answered by pulling out to a 57-47 lead with 6:10 to go powered by four points each from Kevin Bluth and Luke Witt and three from Mike Nester.

At that point Christopher Newport's perimeter game came alive. Antoine Sinclair hit a three-pointer, followed by two threes from Terry Gray and another by Jermaine Woods and the Captains had grabbed the lead, 59-57, with 3:42 to play.

St. John's tied it on a pair of free throws by Witt 12 seconds later, but CNU got a pair of baskets by Sincalir and one by Carlos Heard sandwiched around a free throw by Nester and the Captains had a 65-60 lead with 55 second remaining.
Ryan Dusha cut it to three for SJU at the 45-second mark but two foul shots by Heard three seconds later answered. St. John's then missed three chances with about 25 seconds to go and a free throw by Julian Sumpter at the 13 second mark iced it.

Sinclair led CNU with 25 points and nine rebounds, while Heard added 18 points and Woods had 12. For St. John's, which finishes its season at 22-6, Nester had 23 points, Witt had 12 and Dusha 10.

Christopher Newport is now 25-3 and has won 34 in a row at home, including 19 at the Freeman Center.
