C.J. Woollum remembers the brush with the unthinkable.

Standing outside his team's locker room, Woollum, Christopher Newport's men's basketball coach, heard one of his players say something unfathomable: "We're going to lose."

The "we" in question was the CNU women's team; the verb harder to identify. Lose? That hadn't happened in 22 games.

It didn't happen on this day, either.

"Next thing, I hear this eruption," Woollum said. "You would have thought the world had blown up."

Chelsie Schweers' last-second 3-pointer had tied that Feb. 14 game against Ferrum and forced overtime, leading to an eventual 86-80 CNU victory and the unshakable conviction that the season was going to be something incredible.

From the Newport News Daily Press ...

By Melinda Waldrop

Statistically speaking, this season ranks a little below C.J. Woollum's standards.

But the 15 wins Woollum has directed his Christopher Newport men's basketball team to — in a year filled with lineup shuffles and losing streaks — may be among the most impressive of a 26-year career that now numbers 502 victories and counting.
