GCU faces FAU in Boca Raton

PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Grand Canyon women's basketball team continues its heavy nonconference road slate this weekend with a two-game trip to Florida beginning on Friday. The Lopes (1-5) go head-to-head with Florida Atlantic (2-3) for the second-straight year, as GCU looks for its second win in a row over the Owls. The Lopes then head to Daytona Beach to face Bethune-Cookman (3-1) on Sunday. The meeting marks the second for the Lopes and the Wildcats since GCU began its transition to Division I in 2013, as GCU defeated Bethune-Cookman, 57-45, in November of 2013.

Redshirt senior Brie Mobley leads the Lopes in scoring, while fellow redshirt senior Jessica Gajewski isn't far behind. Gajewski is approaching the 1,000 career points bench mark, as she has a total of 965 to date.
