The Lopes finished with a 921 total, six shots behind runner-up Portland State. Current seniors Alexis Linam (11th place), Carolina Sandstrom (18th place) and Siripatsorn Patchana (28th place) all played in the event.

Last weekend, the Lopes competed in Mesa at The Clover Cup, hosted by Arizona State. GCU had periods of great golf, ending the first round in fifth place. While the Lopes dropped back in an 11th-place finish, sophomore Carmen Belmonte led GCU with a 21st-place finish. She was the second-best individual in the tournament at Longbow Golf Club and was named WAC Golfer of the Week.
