The UC Davis women’s team had not beaten Pacific in 10 years.

Like a well-oiled machine, UC Davis is firing on all cylinders.

Sometimes a truly amazing comeback can be recognized for more than just face value.

After playing through most of December without enough players for a full practice, UC Davis finally got to play a game with most of its squad healthy.

Opening their 2010 season with two dual meets on Saturday, the Aggies did not get the start they hoped for.

UC Davis traveled to Corvallis, Ore. hoping to come away with its first Pac-10 victory of the year.

Who to watch: Kendall McCann won the individual all-around against Seattle Pacific last year with a career-high score of 38.300.

Who to watch: Different Aggies have stepped up their game all season.

Who to watch: Freshman Toki Sherbakov, who is coming back from an injury sustained throughout the fall, is expected to have a bright future after winning 44 matches with just five losses during his high school career.

Who to watch: No. 13 junior heavyweight Ricky Alcala was one of the few bright spots for the Aggies last weekend at the Virginia duals. The Arvin, Calif. native went 3-0 for UC Davis, including a pin against Bucknell’s Connor Sweeney.

Who to Watch: Bridget Bugbee is coming off of success at the Texas Invite. Her 10th place finish at the invitational was just one reason the women’s swimming team placed ninth amongst national competitors.

Haylee Donaghe isn’t like most student athletes. While most spend four years at UC Davis, Donaghe is in year six, now completing her master’s in exercise biology. It hasn’t been as easy as it seems for the Atascadero, Calif. native as three-season ending injuries have prolonged her stay.
