THREE THINGS TO KNOW
- MULTIPLE CONTRIBUTORS: The four goals scored by the Lopes against the Redhawks were scored by four different players. Marleen Schimmer and Camryn Larson scored both goals in the 2-1 win while seven players earned starts for the first time this season.
 - FIRST CAREER GOAL AND ASSIST: In game one on March 11, freshmen Reese Mendenhall and Brenna Alderson teamed up for GCU's first goal of the game. Mendenhall picked up her first career assist and Alderson, who set Perry High School's record with 53 goals, scored her first goal as a Lope with a shot into the top right corner.
 - TWO FINAL HOMESTANDS: GCU has only four home games left in a 2020-21 season. GCU will host UTRGV for two games this week along with hosting California Baptist on April 1 and 3. The Lopes will also host the WAC Tournament beginning on April 13.
UTRGV bounced back last week with a sweep of New Mexico State at home after they previously lost two games to Utah Valley the week before. The Vaqueros boast a perfect 5-0 record in road and neutral site games this season boasting wins over Texas A&M CC, Incarnate Word, UTSA and New Mexico State.
Goalkeeper Maile Lunardi earned her second WAC Defensive Player of the Week award with two wins including a shutout of the Aggies in game two. For the season Lunardi has made 50 saves while boasting the third lowest goals against average mark in the WAC at 0.71. Junior forward Emily Zapata leads the fourth place Vaqueros in scoring with three goals and seven points.
WHAT'S NEXT
- The Lopes will travel to Chicago State for two matches on March 25 and 27.
