Match Notes |
The Grand Canyon women's soccer will welcome Kansas City to GCU Stadium to open WAC play Thursay night. This will be the first home match for the Lopes since Sept. 22.
The Lopes are coming off a 2-1 win at New Mexico State and a 1-0 loss at UT Rio Grande Valley last week to open conference play.
Thursday's game can be watched live on the WAC Digital Network.
THREE THINGS TO KNOW
- IMPORTANT STRETCH: One of the most important stretches of the season approaches the Lopes. Along with reigning WAC regular-season champ Kansas City coming to GCU Stadium, the Lopes will host preseason favorite Seattle U next week. Two days later, GCU will travel to California Baptist, which sits at 2-0 and top of the WAC.
 - FRESHMAN SUCCESS: Many of GCU's first-year players have stepped up so far this season. Goalkeeper Lauren Garthwaite ranks 11th nationally among freshmen for total saves this season. Raeanne Jones joined Emma Anderson as the second freshmen to score a game-winning goal this season. Jones' goal in the 32nd minute at New Mexico State came off a free kick from junior defender Hannah Edwards.
 - PINK OUT: The Lopes will host Kansas City in the annual Pink Out game on Thursday. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the Lopes will be doing their part to raise awareness by wearing pink jerseys that debuted last season. Fans coming to the game are encouraged to wear pink as well.
