Utah Valley falls 2-1 to Grand Canyon in WAC Tournament Semifinal

RIVERSIDE, Calif.—Tied 1-1 with just over two minutes to play, Grand Canyon's Lindsey Prokop scored to help lift the Lopes to a 2-1 win over Utah Valley in the semifinals of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament on Wednesday at CBU Soccer Stadium in Riverside, Calif.

Grand Canyon was first to get on the scoreboard after and own goal gave the Lopes a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute.
 
After going down 1-0 at the half, Utah Valley held possession in the second half. Nicole Olanda sent a corner kick into the box in the 61st minute that found the head of Jenna Shepherd-Gremillion to keep the ball alive in the box. Ruby Hladek then headed in a second touch into the goal for the equalizer to tie the game 1-1. 
 
With just over two minutes to play in the match, Grand Canyon's Bekah Valdez sent a long pass toward the goal. Prokop then knocked it into the net to help secure GCU the 2-1 victory.
