Going into the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships this year, head coach Lennie Zalesky knew it was going to be tough.

UC Davis was only able to send three wrestlers - juniors Marcos Orozco, Nexi Delgado and Tyler Bernacchi - to the national tournament Mar. 20 to 22 at the Scottsdale Center in St. Louis, Mo.

But Zalesky was still optimistic, especially about one particular wrestler. I think we can surprise some people with Marcos, he said.

And that's exactly what Orozco did.

Last weekend the 10th-ranked UC Davis women's water polo team opened an 11-game homestand, which will encompass the rest of the regular season.

After a Friday afternoon win over Brown, UC Davis completed the sweep with Saturday wins over Hartwick and UC Santa Cruz.

Friday - UC Davis 12, Brown 7

After having a long two-week break for finals and spring break, the Aggies came out still on vacation against a weaker Brown opponent.

We played like we had not played a game in two weeks, said head coach Jamey Wright.

UC Davis would fight back after its slow start.
