3 THINGS TO KNOW
- HISTORIC WEEK: Last Thursday, the Lopes logged a 1-0 shutout over Arizona. In front of a record crowd of 3,241 fans at GCU Stadium, junior forward Gianna Gourley scored the game-winning goal in the 54th minute. After the win over the Wildcats, the Lopes took down New Mexico — the reigning Mountain West champions — 2-1 on the road on Sunday. Redshirt freshman midfielder Leah Pirro scored the winning goal in the 65th minute.
- GOURLEY REPEATS: With goals against Arizona and New Mexico, Gourley repeated as the WAC Offensive Player of the Week. The junior forward ranks among the top six nationally in goals and assists and leads the WAC with six goals and 13 points this season.
- WAC PLAY AHEAD: The Lopes will begin the defense of last year's WAC regular-season and tournament titles with the start of conference play next week. Divisions are gone from the conference this year and the Lopes will play the first of 11 WAC round-robin matches on Sept. 17 at California Baptist.
Arkansas has rebounded from a surprising 1-0 loss to Saint Louis in the season opener with four wins in its last five matches. On Thursday, the Razorbacks traveled to No. 13 BYU and drew 3-3. The Cougars, last year's national runner-up, led 3-2 at halftime, but a goal by Arkansas' Ellie Podojil in the 83rd minute salvaged a draw. The Razorbacks have scored 11 of their 17 goals in the first half, while opponents have scored only two of their six goals in the second half.
Forward Jessica De Filippo, one of seven seniors on the team, leads the Razorbacks with three goals and eight points. Defensively, graduate goalkeeper Grace Barbara has an 0.89 goals against average.
