The third-ranked Christopher Newport women’s basketball team opened play at the Music City Classic run by Basketball Destinations and hosted at Welch College in Tennessee with a 71-51 victory against Grove City College (5-5). The Captains improved to 11-0 and Bill Broderick secured his 266th career win as the head coach of Christopher Newport women’s basketball, becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach.

Adding his time as the interim head coach at Division I Bucknell University, Broderick is now 268-52 in his career with a winning percentage of .838.
