Lopes Drop Weekend Finale to UConn

GCU returns home to open WAC play next weekend
The Grand Canyon University softball team (19-16) dropped its weekend finale at the Louisville Slugger Invitational in Stockton, Calif., falling to UConn (10-17), 5-3, Sunday morning at Bill Simoni Field. It was the final contest for the Antelopes on their 13-game road trip to California.
Trailing 5-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, leadoff hitter Haley Walker blasted a three-run home run over the right field fence to trim UConn's lead to two. Walker's second home run of the season plated Taylor Nowlin and Jenna Coates, who both singled earlier in the frame.
Kailey Regester suffered the loss in the circle, hurling the first 4 and 2/3 innings for GCU. The junior allowed four earned runs on five hits. Nowlin spun the final 2 1/3 innings, holding the Huskies scoreless, while fanning four.
After being on the road since Feb. 22, the Lopes will return to Phoenix to open Western Athletic Conference (WAC) play next weekend, as GCU will welcome Seattle U for a three-game set. The Lopes and Redhawks will kick things off with a doubleheader on Friday night. Fans can find more information on the 2015 softball season at www.gculopes.com.
