UC Davis junior Hunter Lee picked up two victories on Sunday in the consolation draw of the ITA Northwest Championships in Berkeley. In his third match of the day, he was defeated by Washington's Brad Bator, 6-4, 6-2, in the quarterfinals.

Lee's run started in the round of 32 with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Yousef El Bouzkouri of Saint Mary's. Next up was Portland State's Kyle Erickson, who fell to Lee, 6-4, 6-2. That set the stage for the quarterfinal showdown against Bator.

In the fall, Corbin Cutshaw looks like any other UC Davis running back.

He uses vision. He cuts. He bursts.

Then the spring arrives, and Cutshaw is still at it. He's still using vision, still cutting, still bursting - just like in the fall.

Sort of.

Women's soccer

The margin of victory was one goal or fewer in each of the Aggies' 13 games entering play on Friday.

That changed for the worst at Cal State Northridge.

Dylan Curtis' career was over.

A senior academically but a junior athletically, the captain of UC Davis' men's soccer team decided to forgo his final year of eligibility.

Starting tailback Joe Trombetta was out.

Same with top reserve Brandon Tucker.

But it didn't matter, as freshmen running backs Corbin Cutshaw and Josh Reese combined for 202 rushing yards to help UC Davis to a 55-24 victory over Iona.

On Oct. 13, the Aggies (11-2-2) became the No. 7 team in the nation and were flying high after a win at then No. 15 UC Santa Barbara.

This week, however, didn't fare as well for the Aggies as they suffered their first Big West Conference defeat at the hands of UC Riverside, 2-1.

Saturday was the day for the Aggies to learn how to race on the national stage. While there, they met - and beat - teams from all over the country.

Finishing 23rd in the "White" race, the Aggies beat teams such as Texas, Colorado State and Cincinnati. Although they raced in the separate "Blue" race, the Aggies ran a much faster team-time than Big West Conference members UC Irvine and UC Riverside.

The Aggies' topsy-turvy season continues. The UC Davis women's volleyball team was on the upside of things this weekend, earning its first Big West Conference victories to double last season's conference win total.
