GULF SHORES, Ala. – The No. 7 Grand Canyon beach volleyball team made history by qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the first time, but its season came to an abrupt end after falling 3-2 to No. 10 Georgia State in the first round on Wednesday evening.
The Lopes took the lead when fifth-year senior Jess Vastine and junior Anaya Evans won in straight sets on Court 1. Georgia State evened the match with a three-set win on Court 4 and the Panthers pulled ahead 2-1 after their 3s pair won in three sets.GCU's No. 5 pair of graduates Cami Sanchez and Dana Roskic earned a huge three-set win to bring the score to 2-2 just moments before the Court 2 match decided the dual with the Lopes' No. 2 pair battling to the end before losing.
