3 THINGS TO KNOW
- WINNING STREAK: The Lopes have won 11 consecutive regular-season matches.
- WAC IN 2025: With just six WAC teams in women's tennis this season, no regular-season championship will be awarded. There will still be a tournament at the end of the season to award the WAC Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. GCUΒ has five WAC teams on its schedule, but those duals will not be recognizedΒ as conference matches.
- WAC RECOGNITION: After a successful week to start the year, three Lopes were recognized by the conference for their efforts. Junior Dania DeaifiΒ received the WAC Singles Player of the Week, while seniorΒ Valentina DelΒ Marco and sophomoreΒ Gala Arangio were named WAC Doubles Players of the Week.

SCOUTING THE ITA KICKOFF FIELD
GCUΒ heads to Berkeley, California, for the ITA Kickoff Weekend. The Berkeley field is comprised of No. 14 Cal, No. 17 Oklahoma and San Diego State. Cal fell in last season's NCAA tournament in the Super Regional round to Georgia., which eventually lost in the national championship.Β
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Lopes face either Oklahoma or San Diego State on Saturday, based off those team's Friday result and GCU's result against Cal.Β
