In 2023, the Lopes earned their second consecutive WAC Championship Tournament title, and returned the NCAA Los Angeles Regional where they defeated No. 2 UCLA for their first post-season victory in program history.
Prior to her time at GCU, Wente won two National Junior College Athletic Association National Championships and oversaw five All-Americans.
