TUCSON, Ariz. – The Grand Canyon softball team concluded the 2018 regular season with an 8-0 loss to No. 10 Arizona (38-13, 11-10 Pac-12) on Sunday at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Lopes (27-26, 8-6 WAC) open the postseason Wednesday with a first-round game in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Shea Smith, Laynee Gomez and Madelyn Dowdle tallied base hits for the Lopes in the loss, while Mariah Valencia dished two strikeouts in four innings of play.

GCU tallied a pair of back-to-back base hits from Laynee Gomez and Madelyn Dowdle to start the second but couldn't get anything going beyond that.
A bases-loaded walk put the Wildcats ahead, 4-0, in the bottom of the second.
