By Monty Siekerman
Here's an update on the Ohio Northern vs Christopher Newport women's basketball game underway tonight.

Ohio Northern cut the lead to 4 points with under three minutes to play and the crowd went wild, but the tide turned and Christopher Newport advances to the Division III final four.

• Final score - Christopher Newport University (Virginia) 76
                       Ohio Northern University 66

• End of third quarter Christopher Newport 51 - ONU 42.

• End of first quarter 18-18.

During second quarter ONU shots wouldn’t go in, while Christopher Newport hit 3-pointers after 3-pointers.

Halftime:
Christopher Newport 41
Ohio Northern 25

CNU has a scrappy defense and pressed ONU full court. ONU shooting 37 percent compared to CNU’s 55 percent.

Rebounds, turnovers and fouls are about the same for both teams.

Can ONU make up a 15-point halftime deficit?
