Many UC Davis students are aware that their campus ranks highest among all UCs in terms of sexual assaults committed on and around campus.The numbers were surprising for a fairly small college town where most people feel safe leaving their doors unlocked.But in2007,69sexual assaults were reported,more than the amount at every other UC combined. At a press conference last Thursday,UC Davis officials announced that the data for sexual assaults in2007had been significantly inflated.The numbers are part of the Clery report,which is a federally mandated report of crimes that occur on and around a college’s campus.

The ball is served. The other team’s defensive player passes it to the setter. The setter pushes the ball outside. The hitter spikes the ball as hard as she can.

Before UC Davis’ contest with No. 5 Boise State, coach Bob Biggs called the Broncos the best team that the Aggies have ever faced. Saturday night was a different story, as UC Davis gave Boise State all it could handle before the Broncos finally pulled away late in the fourth quarter for a 34-16 win.

After upsetting Big Conference rival Santa Clara and improving to 12 on the national poll, the Aggies had big hopes against two tough conference opponents last weekend. Sadly none of these wishes turned into wins.
