GCU transfer leads Lopes to pair of wins
The Grand Canyon women's tennis team earned their third WAC weekly honor of the young season with graduate student Fabienne Schmidt being named WAC Women's Singles Player of the Week.
Schmidt's two singles wins at the No. 2 position helped guide the Lopes to dual-match wins over UC Irvine and UC Riverside last weekend.
Against UC Irivine, Schmidt came from behind against Jessica Tsukiji, dropping the first set 6-4 before winning the next two 6-3, 6-4. Her win was vital as the Lopes overcame a 2-0 deficit for the 4-3 victory.
The Hillscheid, Germany, native wasn't done, as she picked up a 6-3, 6-2 win over UC Riverside's Natalie Shamma the following day. Schmidt's win was part of a 5-0 shutout by GCU, which improved to 18-3 all-time against the Highlanders.
GCU will be back in action this weekend at Sacramento State on Saturday.
