NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The CSUN Beach Volleyball team had its four-match win streak snapped Friday as No. 9 Grand Canyon swept the Matadors 5-0 Friday afternoon at the CSUN Beach Volleyball Complex.

The first match to go final in the second flight clinched the dual for the Lopes as Anaya Evans and Bella Bauman swept Meagan Carter and Lauren Eknoian in the No. 1 pair, 21-17, 21-9. Darbi Honeycutt and Mikaela Maughan battled in the No. 3 pair before falling 21-18, 21-15 to GCU's Taylor Jarzombek and Made Relaz. The final pair to go final gave the Lopes the sweep as Katie Sarber and Natalie Honzovicova took care of Victoria Rogers and Abbey Sweeting by the score of 21-8, 21-15.
COACH NOELLE ROOKE SAID
"Facing a ranked opponent today exposed what we still need to work on, individually among our pairs, as well as collectively as a team. Tomorrow provides another opportunity to respond."
UP NEXT
