GCU's 5th-year defender leads pair of season-opening shutouts
The Grand Canyon women's soccer team earned its first WAC weekly award this season with fifth-year defender Hannah Edwards being named the WAC Defensive Player of the Week.
Â
Edwards, earning the first weekly WAC award of her career, anchored the GCU defensive line last week as the Lopes posted back-to-back shutouts to open the regular season for the first time in program history. GCU won 3-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana on Thursday and 5-0 against Central Arkansas on Sunday while allowing just 12 total shots, including five on goal.
Â
The Aurora, Colorado, native also made GCU history by becoming the program's all-time leader in minutes played with 6,613. She passed the former mark of 6,575, held by Kelsey Smith, in the 37th minute against the Bears on Sunday.
Â
Along with setting the GCU record, Edwards also contributed on the offensive side. She scored on a header in the 31st minute off a corner kick against Central Arkansas. It was one of eight goals the Lopes scored in the first two games.
Â
Edwards and the Lopes will hit the road for the first time this week, traveling to Incarnate Word and UTSA on Friday and Sunday in San Antonio.
