Lopes fall 4-0 to defending conference champ before nearly sweeping Utah State
The Grand Canyon women's tennis team went on its first conference trip this weekend and split dual matches with a loss at Boise State and a win at Utah State.
The Lopes were swept by defending Mountain West champion Boise State on Friday before they rallied to come up with a 4-1 victory Sunday in Logan, Utah.
On Court 3 in doubles play, the GCU freshman duo of Hams Metwally and Amalia Suciu picked up a 6-4 win. Boise State still took the doubles point with wins on Courts 1 and 2.
Singles play started with Boise State's Masa Viriant taking the first point by defeating Metwally 6-1, 6-2.
The Broncos clinched the match with a pair of wins on Courts 1 and 4 over GCU sophomores Bella Crossman and Gala Arangio.
Doubles play started with GCU taking Court 1, where Arangio and sophomore Karina Hofbauer scored a 6-3 victory.
With the Lopes needing one more win to clinch the doubles point, sophomore Peyton Duckett and Suciu responded. After a close match, the duo won 7-6 (8-6 in the tiebreaker).
In singles play, GCU had a dominant showing. On Court 6, Duckett got the scoring started for the Lopes taking out Olivia Halvorsen. The Aggies then battled back with Hofbauer dropping a 6-1, 6-3 match to Sabrina Pintea.
With the dual match at 2-1, GCU was looking for the next point to separate itself. Arangio answered on Court 3, as she was able to pick up a 6-2, 6-4 victory.
After losing her first set 6-3, Crossman came back with 6-2 and 6-4 wins to clinch the dual match and give Crossman six wins this season.
