Event: Big West Conference Championships

Where: Tijeras Creek Golf Course - Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.

When: Today and Tuesday, all day.

Who to watch: Consistency is key to the Aggies' success, and Ramie Sprinkling has it.

The junior from Camarillo, Calif. leads the Aggies with a 73.0-stroke average per 18 holes, with two fourth-place finishes on the year.

It had been over two years since the UC Davis men's tennis team last faced UC San Diego, but it hadn't been long enough to forget the result.

The Aggies took their revenge on their non-conference opponent, defeating the Tritons 4-3, after losing by the same score in the two teams' last meeting Apr. 21, 2006.

"We haven't had success against San Diego for the last few seasons," said senior No. 3 Justin Garcia. "This win was a great sendoff for our seniors."

The victory concluded the home careers of Garcia, Daniel Elefant and Henri Landes.

The sun wasn't the only thing shining on Woody Wilson Track on Picnic Day.

After a successful overall performance at the rain-drenched event last year, the Aggies shined once again as hosts to the Woody Wilson Classic that featured 600-plus athletes. UC Davis turned in several standout performances Saturday.

Junior Sirena Williams claimed the 100-meter hurdle event with a time of 13.96, breaking the school record that she set last week.

At the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational hosted by UCLA last weekend, the Fresno, Calif. native earned a share of the Big West Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week award by setting a new school record time of 14.06. Her Saturday performance also broke the Woody Wilson record of 14.00 set by Donica Merriman in 2002.

Who to watch: For Sydney Roughton, the sand is running out of her hourglass.

UC Davis senior will be competing in what will potentially be the final tournament of her collegiate career. The Davis native is averaging 77.3 strokes per round this season and has averaged 77.1 strokes in her career.

The Schaal Aquatics Center was packed at 4 p.m. when eight Aggies were scheduled to play the final home women's water polo game of their collegiate careers.

An hour-and-a-half later, the game finally began and not a single person had left their seat. The delay, due to the absence of referees, did not deter anyone from honoring the eight seniors in their final farewell at Schaal.

UC Davis came out like they had been waiting for this game much longer than an hour-and-a-half, letting itspresence be known by tyrannizing the Tigers, 14-5, for the team's 10th straight victory.

Call it magic, call it luck. Whatever you want to call it, the Aggies have it right now.

Last week, UC Davis pulled off a pair of 11th-inning comebacks against then-No. 10 Stanford and Big West Conference foe UC Santa Barbara.

On Tuesday afternoon, cross-town rival Sacramento State (15-18) became the latest victim, as the Aggies (24-11) rallied for three runs in the ninth to snatch an 8-7 Causeway series-sweeping victory at Dobbins Stadium.
