By: Adrianna Candelaria

Grand Canyon beach volleyball started Saturday morning with a 5-0 domination over Texas, but the Lopes then fell to No. 1 TCU in a 3-2 battle at the Horned Frogs' Fight in the Fort Tournament.

GCU's Court 2 and 3 pairs, sophomore Samaya Morin and junior Allanis Navas and graduate Cami Sanchez and senior Anaya Evans, went 2-0 on the day. Morin and Navas got it done in two sets against TCU, while Sanchez and Evans fought for every point in their three-set match.

The Lopes will return home to host Ottawa (Ariz.) and Park (Ariz.) for Senior Day on Saturday, April 1.
