The Utah State softball team was dominated by No. 23 Grand Canyon, losing 10-1 in the second game of their three-game series. The Lopes struck early, scoring three runs off a two-out homer in the first inning. Despite keeping the game competitive for a while, a seventh-inning surge by Grand Canyon sealed the Aggies' fate. Utah State managed only one run, a solo home run from senior catcher Kaylee Erickson, and recorded five hits during the match. The Aggies will look to bounce back in the series finale tomorrow.
