UC Davis dominated the pool on Sunday afternoon at UC San Diego, winning 14 of 26 events en route to a men's victory of 149-92 and a women's win of 135-107.

The Aggies may have walked away from the weekend with a Western Water Polo Association win, but the game they wanted so badly slipped through their finger tips.

Men's basketball

UC Davis defeated Notre Dame de Namur, 69-36, in an exhibition at the Pavilion on Friday. Joe Harden led the Aggies with a game-high 15 points and 12 rebounds. It was the sophomore's second double-double in as many exhibitions as the Aggies closed out their preseason schedule.

Vince Oliver added 12 while Ryan Silva finished with 10.

The reminders can be found on his wall. An old swim cap that reads, "Goalies without commitments are just dreamers." Motivational posters from side to side. The number 1,144 - the men's water polo career saves record at UC Davis - it's up there, too. Meet Kevin Peat. The redshirt freshman wants to be the best goalie in UC Davis history - and he very well could become just that.

The winning streak is dead. The rivalry is reborn. Sparked by a quick start and fueled by a flux of missed UC Davis opportunities, Sacramento State brought the fire back into what had become a lukewarm football rivalry, upsetting the Aggies 29-19 on Saturday in the Causeway Classic.

Kayla Varney has been rolling as of late. The sophomore recorded a team-high 25 kills to go along with 30 digs as the Aggies split a pair of road matches in Southern California this weekend.
