Did you know? When the UC Davis women’s soccer team hosts San Jose State on Friday, it’ll be the first Aggie squad to play a home game this season.
Preview: Gabina Bohlman gave UC Davis a 1-0 lead in its first game of the season, but it was St. Mary’s Stefani Rocco that would have the last word.

The Aggies now face San Jose State and Navy in their first homestand of the season. The Spartans‘ record may read 0-2-0, but their losses came against a pair of ranked opponents – first No. 22 Santa Clara, 3-0, and then No. 17 California, 3-1.
Navy posted a 3-0 victory over Vermont to open its season on Saturday. The Midshipmen travel to Stanford on Friday before facing the Aggies on Sunday.
