    NAU Faces In-State Foe Grand Canyon to Close Non-Conference Play


    FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (Dec. 27, 2024) – Following a break for the holidays, the Northern Arizona women’s basketball team resumes competition this week, facing in-state foe Grand Canyon. The Lumberjacks will make the short trip down to Phoenix, Ariz., to face the Lopes on Sunday, Dec. 29 at the Global Credit Union Arena at 2 p.m. Mountain Standard time. The game will also be broadcast on ESPN+.
     
    Sunday’s contest marks the final non-conference matchup for the Lumberjacks, who sit at 9-3 on the year. Grand Canyon hosts Park Gilbert tonight (Dec. 27) before hosting NAU and are currently 11-2 this season with a 9-0 mark at home.
     
    The ‘Jacks and Lopes have clashed 10 times, with NAU leading the all-time series 6-4. It’s the first meeting since the 2021-22 season when Northern Arizona picked up a victory at home. GCU has won four of the last five meetings, but the Lumberjacks won the first five meetings from 1988 to 1992 before the teams took a hiatus from playing each other. Most of the games have taken place in Flagstaff, with GCU leading the all-time series in Phoenix, 2-1. The teams have not met there since 2020-21, and NAU hasn’t won on the road since 1989-90, also falling in 2016-17.
     
    Grand Canyon has won nine-straight heading into its Friday night contest. One of the victories came over Arizona, 69-66, on the road in Tucson. The Lumberjacks also handled the Wildcats on Nov. 20 in Flagstaff, winning 92-75. The Lopes haven’t lost since Nov. 18 at No. 23 Oregon.
     
    GCU averages 76.8 points per game and ranks 19th in the country in field goal percentage at a 48.4 percent clip.

The Lopes also rank 35th nationally in three-point percentage (36.4%), and 17th in assists per game (18.6).
     
    The Lopes are led by Alyssa Durazo-Frescas who ranks second in the nation with 48 three-pointers already this season, averaging 3.68 per game at a 45.7 percent clip. Laura Erikstrup ranks 25th in the country in field goal percentage (58.2%), and Tiarra Brown has 37 steals this season to rank 15th nationally.
     
    Northern Arizona hasn’t played since Dec. 19 at Fresno State, where it put up one of the best defensive performances of the season but could never get the offense clicking in a 66-55 loss. Sophie Glancey picked up her eighth double-double of the season with a season-high 26 points and 10 rebounds, also tying a career-high with four blocks.
     
    Northern Arizona has won four of its last six games. This week, NAU checked in at No. 17 in the College Insider Mid-Major top 25, its eight-straight week in the rankings. They are also ranked 92nd in the NCAA Net Rankings.
     
    Glancey has eight double-doubles on the year, ranking sixth in the nation. She leads the Big Sky with 18.0 points per game, scoring in double figures in 20-straight games dating back to last season. The junior ranks first in the league in blocks per game (1.7) and is second in rebounds (9.0) while ranking second in field goal percentage (51.9%).

Feldman is also fourth in the Big Sky with 3.8 assists per game, while Nyah Moran is third in field goal percentage (43.4%).

Beattie also leads the team in assists, dishing 4.4 per contest which is third in the Big Sky. Olivia Moran rounds things out with 8.6 points per game and is just 14 points away from joining NAU’s 1,000 career point club. Saniyah Neverson grabs 8.6 rebounds per game.
     
    As a team, the Lumberjacks lead the league with 81.8 points per game but allow the most points in the Big Sky with 76.3. They also lead the Big Sky in three-pointers per game (8.6), are second in rebounding (44.7) and first in assist/turnover ratio (1.21), dishing a league-high 16.83 assists per game. NAU is one of the best rebounding teams in the country, ranking 11th in total team rebounds and fourth in defensive rebounds.
     
    Northern Arizona opens Big Sky Conference play on Thursday, Jan. 2 at Idaho State before taking on Weber State on Jan. 4 in Ogden, Utah.

  • In-state tuition trends for Arizona universities

    In-state tuition trends for Arizona universities


    TEMPE — Arizona residents looking to attend Arizona State University or Northern Arizona University next fall will be paying a little more in tuition and fees compared to 2024.

    Announced in-state tuition and fees for the 2025-26 school year:

    Fifteen years ago, resident in-state tuition for all three of Arizona’s major public universities was less than $10,000 a school year. That ended in 2015 when Northern Arizona University became the last of the three to raise its in-state tuition to $10,358, surpassing the base tuition for ASU the following year.

    Tuition at all three schools increased above the rate of inflation between 2010 and 2025, but that does not mean that all three were less expensive in previous years.

    When adjusting past tuition rates to today’s dollars the cost burden of tuition at the three schools is lower today than it was in the middle of the past decade. In 2017, the University of Arizona tuition would have been above $15,000. Both ASU and NAU would be above $14,000.

    Average public tuition rates in Arizona are on the high side compared to other states, ranking 15th and more in line with tuition averages in the northeast. Only two states, Oregon and Arizona have tuition averages above $10,000.





    In-state tuition trends for Arizona universities

    As the cost of higher education continues to rise, many students and families are closely monitoring tuition rates at Arizona universities. In-state tuition, which is typically lower than out-of-state rates, plays a crucial role in making college more affordable for local residents.

    In recent years, Arizona universities have seen varying trends in their in-state tuition rates. Some schools have implemented modest increases to keep up with inflation and rising operating costs, while others have frozen tuition in an effort to make education more accessible.

    For example, Arizona State University (ASU) has steadily increased its in-state tuition over the past few years, citing the need to maintain quality programs and services for students. On the other hand, the University of Arizona has implemented tuition freezes in certain years to help alleviate financial burdens on students and their families.

    It is important for prospective students to stay informed about these trends and understand how they may impact their college expenses. By researching and comparing tuition rates at different Arizona universities, students can make informed decisions about where to pursue their higher education goals.

    Overall, the trend of in-state tuition at Arizona universities is a complex and evolving one. As students continue to navigate the financial challenges of pursuing a college degree, monitoring tuition rates and seeking out financial aid opportunities will be crucial steps in achieving their academic aspirations.
