The Eagles dropped a match in three sets to Grand Canyon University Tuesday night in Phoenix, Ariz. at the mercy of the Lopes' efficient offense. Grand Canyon hit .451 as a team with 46 kills, while Concordia combined for .243 with 30 kills.

The 21-25, 21-25, 20-25 loss sits the Eagles at 17-11 with only one game remaining in the 2017 season.

Taylor Falduti was the Eagles' most effective asset. The middle blocker hit .556 with six kills on nine swings.

Despite going up 6-2 in the first set, the Lopes went on a 6-2 scoring run to tie the game at eight. The teams traded points until GCU established a 22-19 lead on an Eagle hitting error. They closed on the game 25-21 on a kill from Ashton King.

Once again in game two, the Eagles charged to a 6-2 lead. But the Lopes chipped away at Concordia's lead and evened the score at 15 all. Grand Canyon then used a series of Eagle errors take a 20-19 lead. They won five of the next seven points to secure the set two victory.

After a four-all tie, Concordia let the third match slip away to an unstoppable Lopes' offense that hit .517.

Concordia concludes its season Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Mesa, Ariz. against Benedictine.
