The No. 9 Grand Canyon beach volleyball team started its season with a Friday sweep, defeating Boise State 5-0, No. 12 Arizona 4-1 and Arizona State 4-1 on Day 1 of the Canyon Classic at GCU Beach Volleyball Stadium.
"It's always exciting to get to Opening Day," GCU head coach Kristen Rohr said. "I am really happy with how we competed against some strong opponents and how we supported each other as a team."
All five GCU pairs swept the Broncos pairs in two sets apiece.
The Lopes took down the Wildcats 4-1.
GCU defeated the Sun Devils 4-1 to close out Opening Day.
"We have spent the last week focusing on fine-tuning certain areas of our game and partnerships and I'm really pleased with how practice translated to our competition," Rohr said. "We are just beginning and have so many areas we can continue to improve, but I'm happy with our starting point."
The Lopes are back at it Saturday with an all-day pairs tournament that stats at 8 a.m. Pairs from GCU, Boise State, Arizona and ASU will compete.
