The Aggies looked to begin anew with conference play beginning on Friday. With a record of 11-20 in 31 non-conference contests, UC Davis opened up their Big West Conference with a three-game series against Cal State Northridge. The two squads split a doubleheader on the first day of play and the Aggies won the rubber match to take the series.
