SEATTLE — No. 3 Utah Valley fell to No. 1 Grand Canyon 4-0 in the WAC Tournament semifinals on Friday afternoon at Logan Field in Seattle. The Wolverines will have the chance to extend their season and advance to Championship Saturday later tonight at 8 p.m. MT against either UT Arlington or California Baptist.

GCU's Meghan Golden took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the Wolverines were able to scratch out a pair of hits. Golden struck out five and walked one in a complete game shutout. 

Avery Sapp got the start in the circle for the Wolverines and allowed four earned runs over 3.2 innings pitched. Halle Morris pitched the final 3.1, holding the Lopes without a run and limiting them to two hits. 

Sapp bounced back from a rocky first inning where she stranded a leadoff double in scoring position by striking out four of the seven batters she faced in the next two frames

GCU broke through with four runs in the fourth. Morris came on with two outs and after allowing hits to the first two batters she faced, she retired the next 10 Lopes in order. 

Utah Valley got its first two baserunners in the fifth, with Morris reaching on a HBP and Gibbs reaching on an error. Morris' HBP set the UVU single-season record, as it was her 13th of the season. 

The Wolverines threatened in the seventh, loading the bases and bringing the tying runner to the plate, but Rachael Brown struck out to end the game.

Utah Valley will face the winner of UTA and CBU at 8 p.m. MT for a spot in the championship round tomorrow. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ with live stats available at UVUStats.com.
