GCU falls 202-89 against BYU
The Grand Canyon women's team lost its first home meet of the season 202-89 to BYU on Saturdayat Fr. Edward Reese Aquatic Center in Phoenix.
The women began the meet with a third-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay. Sophomore Kyra Forrest, junior Alyssa Christianson, sophomore Emily Muteti and junior Karolina Dyrda finished in 1 minute and 46.97 seconds.
"We were short-handed on the women's team today," associate head coach Chris O'Linger said. "Those who competed continued to perform the way we have all year."
The Lopes were led by Muteti and sophomore Robyn Edwards as they both had first-place finishes. Muteti claimed first place in the 200 butterfly (2:07.68) and Edwards won the 200 backstroke (2:06.02).
Christianson took second in two events on the day: the 200 breaststroke (2:23.91) and 200 individual medley (2:12.36).
GCU took first and second in the final event of the meet, the 400 freestyle relay. Senior Salma Zaitoun, Forrest, Dyrda and Muteti led the Lopes to the win in 3:37.56 while junior Diana Jaruseviciute, Edwards, senior Talita Te Flan, and sophomore Hannah Barker finished in second place at 3:51.86.
"We showed a sense of resilience in stealing a couple major races," O'Linger said. "We're very proud of where our women's team is headed and are excited to see what we can carry into the WAC Championship next month."
The Lopes return home on Jan. 25 for their Senior Day in a one-day meet against California Baptist at 1 p.m.
