"This is a great whole-team travel trip; we are excited to visit Phoenix with our whole crew. Since we split men/women for our Conference Championships, it is our last chance to travel this year with the whole team.  GCU is a great in-Conference foe for our men, and we have a ton of fans in Phoenix, so this is one that we are really excited for."
