The Grand Canyon men's soccer team is back at GCU Stadium this week, looking to build on its impressive resume of two top-25 wins. GCU hosts Loyola Marymount on Thursday at 4 p.m.
After a weekend that featured two tough-luck losses, the Lopes aim to rebound on their home turf, where they won six of their past eight matches.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW

- DOMINANT DEFENSE: In its four matches this season, the Lopes have allowed just three goals with no more than one in a single game. GCU ranks No. 32 nationally in goals against average at 0.73.

Since the opener, however, the Lions have dropped three consecutive matches to DePaul, UC Irvine and Long Island.LMU ranks seventh-last nationally in goals against average, allowing 2.82 goals per 90 minutes this season.
In the last meeting between the two programs, the Lions topped the Lopes 1-0 in Los Angeles on Sept. 5, 2016 in Los Angeles. GCU outshot LMU 13-10 but allowed an 88th-minute goal.
