Phoenix, AZ—Grand Canyon University (0-1) was unable to open the season with a win on the road as they lost to Western New Mexico by a score of 82-75 this evening in Silver City.

Richard Davis (Sr/Glendale, AZ/Glendale CC) also finished with 16 points but struggled from the field shooting 4-14 and 3-8 behind the arc. Two other 'Lopes finished in double figures with Rudy Bogan (Jr/Glendale, AZ/South Mountain CC) and Ladi Makinde (Jr/Phoenix, AZ/Scottsdale CC) chipping in 11 and 10 points respectively.
