Andrusak leads GCU to 4 wins against WAC opponents
The Grand Canyon women's swimming and diving team went 4-1 over the weekend in Phoenix, where it hosted Air Force and New Mexico State in a two-day dual meet and also faced Idaho on Friday.
The Lopes beat Idaho and were victorious against New Mexico State twice while splitting with Air Force to move the women to an 8-1 record.
"The women's team was absolute warriors for us this weekend and fought for every point, was really impressive in getting wins over Idaho, New Mexico State and Air Force," GCU head coach Steve Schaffer said. "Almost everyone contributed to the wins and just did a fantastic job of competing as a team."
