Cross Country: The men’s and women’s cross country teams traveled to Palo Alto, Calif. Saturday to compete in the Stanford Invitational – a highly regarded meet and a destination point for many top-notch teams in the nation.

On the surface, UC Davis’ 20-6 loss to Weber State is just another game. The Aggies came up short, failing to find the end zone despite a couple strong drives.

While the first half of Saturday night’s game was characterized by solid defense and strong feet from both sides, the Weber State offense broke through in the third quarter for the eventual win.

Coach Jamie Holmes wants the Aggies to be a NCAA Tournament caliber team.

The UC Davis women’s golf team has been well traveled.

Bob Anderson pretty much did everything. He flew planes over the Pacific in the thick of World War II battles. He revolutionized magazine-format television.

The term “must-win” game has been thrown around so much in sports it’s starting to taste like stale fish. I’m sure the San Francisco Giants had a “must-win” in April against the San Diego Padres. I’m sure every game the Giants have played against the Colorado Rockies is considered a “must-win.”

The Aggies got their first ever Big West Cross Country championship last year in women’s individual champion Sarah Sumpter.

The California Aggie’s fall spotlight team was selected by Aggie sports editor Jason Alpert and Aggie sports writers Grace Sprague, Trevor Cramer and Matt Wang.

If you spend some time with the UC Davis field hockey team you will hear a lot of talk about teamwork and improvement.

It was a rough start to the season after great anticipation for the Cal-UC Davis matchup in the beginning of September.

It was rumored earlier in the offseason that UC Davis was being considered for one of three spots in the Western Athletic Conference, vacated by Fresno State, Nevada and Boise State.
