It is time for the UC Davis men’s cross country team to begin the defense of its Big West Conference Title.

“Soccer is a funny game. In the game of soccer, you always have a chance to win.”

The Aggies won both of their games in an impressive fashion this week, putting their overall record to 3-1. Their first win was Sunday’s afternoon game against rival Sacramento State. The team worked hard to keep that momentum going and seven days later the San Jose State Spartans fell victim to the Aggie offense in a decisive 5-2 UC Davis victory.

Teams: UC Davis at Arizona State

UC Davis men’s soccer showed reasons for optimism in the preseason, but its regular season opener was a different story.

UC Davis entered Sunday’s contest brimming with confidence from a 2-0 road win over University of San Francisco.

The stats would indicate a blowout.

Event: No. 13 UC Davis at No. 2 California; vs. No. 5 Pacific

Who to watch: Junior Nadia Namdari was the standout performer for the Aggies in 2010.

Who to Watch: Kevin Schulte is the kind of player that makes an offense flow. Schulte provided a steady pressure on opposing goals and also led the team in assists in his first season last year.

For the UC Davis volleyball team, the goal is always the same – make it to the NCAA tournament.
