Conference play kicks off for the Grand Canyon men's soccer team with a Sunday matchup at Incarnate Word. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. (Phoenix time).
The Lopes finished the nonconference schedule with a 3-4 mark. The conference slate features 11 games, including five at home and six on the road.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW
- CONFERENCE OPENER: The Lopes look to continue a string of success in WAC openers. GCU is unbeaten in the past three conference openers (2-0-1), including a lopsided 5-2 win over Houston Baptist a year ago.
- LEADING THE SAVES: Redshirt freshman George Tasouris has been busy in goal this season. He ranks No. 14 nationally in saves per game (5.33) and No. 19 in save percentage (84.2).
- REVERSE THE TREND: GCU is looking for its first road goal and first road win of the 2018 season. The Lopes suffered two tough-luck, 1-0 losses to Evansville and Southern Illinois Edwardsville before the most recent loss at Oral Roberts on Monday.
SCOUTING
Incarnate Word is searching for its first win of 2018 under an interim head coach. The Cardinals are one of just six teams nationally to have scored two or fewer total goals this season.GCU is 4-2 all-time against the Cardinals and 1-2 in San Antonio. The most recent matchups have come in Phoenix with the Lopes winning 2-0 last year and 1-0 in 2016.
LAST TIME OUT
- The Lopes were held to a season-low three shots in a tight 1-0 loss to Akron on Thursday.
- GCU was handed its first home loss of the season.
