Robin Guier knows the end is near.
How it came so soon she still can't piece together.
A senior on the UC Davis women's tennis team, Guier will be playing in the final two matches of her home career this weekend. The Aggies will first host UC Irvine Saturday at 11 a.m. and then Cal State Fullerton Sunday at 10 a.m.
Leading up to the two-match set at the Marya Welch Tennis Center, Aggie Sports Editor MICHAEL GEHLKEN sat down with Guier to discuss the team's early success in conference play, why she chose to attend UC Davis and the unwritten code of conduct for any fan looking to root on the Aggies this weekend.

Correction
In Wednesday's Athletes of the Quarter section, the photos of junior wing Haylee Donaghe and senior gymnast Michelle Kulovitz were mistakenly switched. The Aggie regrets the error.
Even though the tournament fell on April Fool's Day, the UC Davis women's golf team wasn't fooling around - it came to play some golf.
After being tied for seventh place Apr. 1, the Aggies jumped three spots on the final day to finish in a fourth-place tie with UNLV at the Regional Preview in Lincoln, Calif.
Led by freshman Chelsea Stelzmiller, who earned an eighth-place finish with a total score of 221, the Aggies finished ahead of ranked opponents No. 45 San Francisco and No. 48 Washington State as well as the three other Big West Conference teams in the 19-team field.

Who to watch: Santa Clara couldn't handle Anita Athavale and Desiree Stone together, and it didn't fare any better when they were apart.
On Mar. 12, the two sophomores paired up at the No. 2 doubles spot to defeat Myra Davoudi and Lindsay McBride, 8-5, and then captured straight-set singles wins to lead UC Davis to a 5-2 victory.

Year: Senior
In a season where the Aggies went young with a senior-less roster, it was only appropriate that a star freshman led the way.
From carrying the weight of the men's basketball program's first official Division I season to running the team's new Princeton offense, redshirt freshman point guard Mark Payne rose to every challenge in the 2007-2008 season.
It's an awful lot to ask out of a freshman, but he's progressing and maturing so much, said head coach Gary Stewart. He's going to be a dominant Big West player by the time he graduates.
Jessica Campbell owns the UC Davis women's basketball record books.
A senior out of San Marcos, Calif., Campbell is among the program's all-time leaders across the board, ranking third in points (1,413), seventh in blocks (57) and ninth in rebounds (590) and assists (274).
Campbell led the Big West Conference with an 88.9 percent free throw percentage this season. She also ranked second in the conference in scoring (15.3 points per game), field goal percentage (53.9 percent) and minutes played (32.8 minutes per game), earning a spot on the first-team All-Big West Conference team for her efforts.
