6 Lopes named to AVCA Top Flight list

Grand Canyon's Allison Hansen and Abbie Hughes were selected for Flight 1, Samaya Morin and Allanis Navas earned Flight 2, and Anaya Evans and Cami Sanchez were named to Flight 3 of the 2023 AVCA Top Flight list.

The Top Flight program, now in its fifth year, recognizes beach pairs who compete in at least 15 matches together at a specific flight and win at least 75% of their matches. This year, 54 pairs representing 32 schools—from all three NCAA divisions, NAIA and Two Year Colleges—are Top Flight. Pair records are before the NCAA Championship, so they only include matches before May 1.
