Lopes record 3rd consecutive win with 5 double-digit scorers
Grand Canyon takes its first three-game winning streak of the season into the Christmas break after withstanding IU Indy's relentless pressure for a 91-78 victory Monday night at Global Credit Union Area.
The Lopes (8-4) used five double-digit scorers to close their nonconference schedule with a victory that they led for 38 minutes.
GCU senior guard Jaden Henley set a career high with 29 points, going 10 of 13 from the field and making 7 of 9 at the free throw line. Henley also shared the team rebounding lead with freshman center Efe Demirel and graduate power forward Nana Owusu-Anane, all of whom grabbed eight rebounds.
Henley passed the 1,000-point mark on his last free throw trip of the game. His driving ability at 6 feet 7 was a continuous problem for IU Indy, the most foul-prone team in the nation.
GCU led 82-67 after the spurt and kept the lead in double digits for the remainder of the game.
