After starting out the season red-hot, winning six of their first seven games, the Aggies went into the weekend in search of their first Big West Conference win. The Aggies are still looking. UC Davis fell to both Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and UC Santa Barbara, falling to 0-4 in conference and 8-9 overall.

One of the aspects of the game of soccer that coaches stress is to score first to put pressure on the other team. “Everybody who watches games knows that when you score the first goal, the game is much easier to play,” head coach Dwayne Shaffer said. UC Davis (9-1-1) did just that against Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (6-3-2) on Saturday to capture its first Big West Conference victory, 2-0, and to stay undefeated at Aggie Soccer Stadium this season.

Saturday the Aggies risked.And it paid off. The men were led by junior Arran Rogerson’s25:34.2clocking,good for fifth individually,as their depth helped them place a close second to Stanford University at the Doc Adams Open at the Putah Creek Reserve.

Saturday’s fanhood triathlon officially spanned12hours and seven minutes. It was worth every second – especially the last one.
