Oakley Vickers has become GCU’s left-handed postseason hammer
In the 2026 season, Oakley Vickers emerged as a difference-maker for Grand Canyon, finishing 16-5 with a 1.99 ERA and powering the Lopes’ run with a complete-game shutout in the Mountain West title game, where she earned tournament MVP honors. Earlier in 2026, she also posted an 8-0 start with a 1.34 ERA, plus a win and a save in one weekend, showing starter-to-reliever versatility. The big takeaway: she misses bats, handles pressure, and seems to rise when the lights get brighter.
