THREE THINGS TO KNOW
- DOUBLE UP: Along with facing the Wildcats on Saturday, GCU will play Arizona on Feb. 13. It will be the first time GCU has played the same opponent twice in the same season since the Lopes faced Idaho State in back-to-back matches in the 2014-15 season.
Β - LOOKING AHEAD:Β February will be a busy month for the Lopes with four matches on the horizon. In addition to facing Arizona on Feb. 13, the Lopes will travel to Cal Poly on Feb. 5 and play Omaha and Drake in IowaΒ on Feb. 27 and 28.
Β - RECORD WATCH: Occhipinti could use her extra year of eligibility to break some impressive GCU records. The fifth-year senior from Italy is two singles wins from passing GCU great Tatum Prudhomme for the most singles wins in the GCU Division I era. With 14 doubles wins,Β OcchipintiΒ also could reach the topΒ mark in career doubles wins.
