Lopez, Fernandez, Camaño earn major honors
After completing its first Mountain West regular season as the champion, Grand Canyon men's soccer turns to the postseason with a semifinal matchup tonight at GCU Stadium versus No. 4 seed Air Force.
The matchup will feature plenty of All-Mountain West award winners from the GCU side as a record-setting 16 conference awards were earned by the first-place Lopes.
GCU's name was on four of the five major MW awards. Senior midfielder Jorge Lopes shared Co-Offensive Player of the Year while fifth-year player Beltran Fernandez was a Co-Goalkeeper of the Year and freshman Arnau Camaño was named Co-Newcomer of the Year.
In addition, GCU head coach Jamie Davies and assistant coaches Craig McCall, Michael Garrihy and Ben Assane earned Mountain West coaching staff of the year.
Of the 12 team All-Mountain West first-team winners, six were GCU players. Camaño, Fernandez and Lopez also earned those nods along with freshman midfielder João Goncalinho, sophomore defender Liam Harrington and senior midfielder Martin Luala.
The freshman duo of defender Felix Oberwaditzer and midfielder Rafael Coet claimed All-Mountain West seccond-team accolades.
The All-Mountain West Newcomer Team includes Fernandez, Camaño, Gonçalinho and freshman defender Bradley De Jesus.
GCU enters the Mountain West Championship on an 11-match unbeaten streak, tied for third longest in the nation behind SMU and Portland. The Lopes finished 8-0-2 in conference action for the program's third unbeaten conference record (2020 and 2007).
The Lopes are first place in 12 Mountain West categories, including scoring offense, assists, goals, shot accuracy, shots on goal per game, corner kicks per game and goal differential.
Their 7.9 shots on goal per game is second nationally, trailing only Washington, while the 41 assists are 17th most in the Division I. Lopez, Gonçalinho, De Jesus and Coet take up the conference's top four assist spots.
It marks the second straight season in which GCU has won an Offensive Player of the Year and a combination of either Freshman or Newcomer of the Year. Junior Diouf won both awards last season in the WAC. The two awards for Lopez bring his career tally to four after he was on the 2023 All-WAC Freshman Team and the 2024 All-WAC second team.
