GCU Drops 1-0 Match to DU in NCAA First Round
PHOENIX - After giving up an first-half goal, Grand Canyon couldn't find the back of the net, falling to visiting Denver, 1-0, in the first round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament.
The Pioneers scored in the 24th minute as Kengo Ohira scored his fourth goal of the season on the assist from Aidan O'Toole. That would prove to be the only goal of the match as Denver advances to play eighth-seeded Clemson on Sunday.
The Lopes outshot DU, 14-10, but Pioneer keeper Will Desantis made all four saves he needed to make. GCU keeper Anthony Munoz played well, making three saves, but it wasn't enough to earn the win.
Grand Canyon closes out the season with a record of 15-4-1.
