LAS VEGAS (AP) — Trinity San Antonio scored 19 points, Laura Erikstrup added 17 points and Grand Canyon advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time with a 65-62 victory over UT Arlington in the WAC Tournament championship game on Saturday.

The Lopes (32-2) extended their nation's longest and WAC-record win streak to 30 games, but they had to survive a late threat from the Mavericks.
