Women's rowing

Miami overtook UC Davis for fourth-place midway during Sunday morning's petite final of the Jessop-Whittier Cup at the San Diego Crew Classic, beating the Aggie women's varsity eight crew for the final position at the prestigious regatta.

UC Davis, which faced its toughest competition of the season over the two-day regatta, was timed in 7:12.60 - five seconds behind the Hurricanes. Thirteenth-ranked UCLA won the race in 6:52.20.

Justin Fitzgerald was a San Francisco Giants fan. He was one his whole life. His dad was born and raised a Giants fan, too. He remembers going to Candlestick Park as a kid to see Will "The Thrill" Clark. He was at AT&T Park to watch Barry Bonds hit the 700th home run of his career.

Coming off a very solid fifth-place finish at the huge Cal-Nevada Championships, the Aggies headed across the Causeway for the much smaller Mondo Invite, where they competed against California, North Dakota State and Sacramento State.

While they didn't fall apart, UC Davis wasn't able to bring its "A" game two weeks in a row.

Teams: UC Davis at Howard

When: Monday at 10 a.m.

One week after their impressive performance at the Cal-Nevada Championships, the Aggies came back to Northern California to compete at the Mondo Invite at Sacramento State.

While it had some highlights, the meet as a whole can be best described as average, according to coach Deanne Vochatzer.

"It was the first week back at school and a week after Cal-Nevada," she said. "Not making excuses, but we looked like it. We looked like we were just getting back into it."

Outfielder Ryan Scoma wasn't exactly sure what the problem was.

Coach Rex Peters said his team wasn't performing particularly well in any phase of the game.

That all changed on Tuesday.

Teams: UC Davis at San Diego State

Where: PETCO Park - San Diego; Tony Gwynn Stadium - San Diego

Heidi Kucera could be the greatest female swimmer UC Davis has ever had.

Hailing from Palo Alto, Calif., Kucera has put forth numerous school and conference records, and was the first Aggie to qualify for the NCAA Championships with an "A" cut time standard.
