Women's soccer

The UC Davis women's soccer team can only hope league play goes this well.

If the best medicine for a struggling team is the sweet taste of victory, then the Aggies should be feeling much better.

After dropping seven of their first 10 and four of their last five, No. 15 UC Davis turned it around this weekend, winning three of four - all against Western Water Polo Association teams.

UC Davis saved its worst game for a rainy day. In wet weather at Parsons Field, the Aggies turned the ball over six times and saw their early lead slip away as Northeastern scored 27 points unanswered in a 27-10 loss Saturday in Brookline, Mass.

Senior midfielder Ahmad Hatifie scores his first goal of the season from 15 yards out to the top left corner.

The second-largest crowd ever to watch a UC Davis women's volleyball match came to the Pavilion on Saturday in the hope that they may leave having witnessed history. The Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 advantage against No. 22 Long Beach State, moving within one set of claiming their first-ever home Big West Conference win.

Saturday's Stanford Invitational gave the UC Davis men's and women's cross country team its first chance to see how it stacked up against Big West Conference foes.

The Aggies liked what they saw.
