GRAND CANYON'S HISTORIC NIGHT
Grand Canyon took down Utah Valley 71-59 on Thursday night, but the Lopes had more than one reason to celebrate.

This win also gave Molly Miller her 100th victory as the head coach of the program. With a record of 100-37 in her five years at GCU, Miller's winning percentage as head coach of the Lopes improved to .730.

The Lopes moved to 2-0 in conference play and expanded their winning streak to 13 games, the nation's fourth longest active winning streak. The seven longest active winning streaks in the country all belong to teams that are ranked nationally, with the exception of GCU.
