UC Davis wanted to enter the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships on a hot streak.

It was a bittersweet end to the Aggies season. After falling to UC Irvine on day one of the Big West Conference Championships, UC Davis turned around and defeated Long Beach State to earn fifth place for the conference.

The Aggies needed a break. Before this game, UC Davis had five games in six days and, as a result, was short on pitchers.

Men’s soccer; Women’s volleyball; Women’s gymnastics

That’s six for those of you counting at home. Six Aggie teams have won either their regular season or postseason conference championship this year.

The Aggies can walk with a little bounce in their step.

After sweeping a doubleheader to open the series, the Aggies had to expect the Titans to come hungry to game three.
