Numerous team records, individual accolades and the second-best record in the program's D-I era highlight UC Davis women soccer's 2015 season.

In the second season of the Kaufman era, the Aggies ended their 2015 campaign with a 10-7-2 overall record - the second-highest win total since the program began competing at the Division I level. When compared to last year's results, Kaufman's first at UC Davis, this year's squad collected twice as many overall victories.

Out of the 328 Div. I teams across the country, this year's team also recorded its highest Ratings Percentage Index in school history. Commonly known as the RPI, this figure is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon its wins, losses and strength of schedule.

Including key victories against San Diego State, the Mountain West Conference's reigning three-time regular season and tournament champion, Saint Mary's, Eastern Washington and Sacramento State - the team's seventh Causeway Cup win in the last nine head-to-head matches (the other two were draws) - UC Davis' seven non-conference victories are the most recorded by any squad in the program's D-I history.

By comparison, the Aggies won seven non-conference matches in the previous two seasons combined.

Fans of UC Davis women's soccer knew early in the season that this year's team was a special one: Through the first two weeks of the season, the Aggies matched the total number of goals scored (11) and wins (5) throughout the entire 2014 season.

As many visiting teams found out the hard way, Aggie Soccer Field is earning a well-deserved reputation as one of the toughest places to visit. What started with the Aggies' season opener, when a D-I record 676 fans watched UC Davis battle Santa Clara - a team that earned a national ranking in that week's women's soccer poll - continued throughout the entire season. A passionate fan base watched UC Davis women's soccer earn a program-record seven victories on its home turf.

The previous Div. I mark of five home wins took place during the 2007, 2011 and 2012 seasons.

What started with its rivalry victory over Sacramento State ended nearly a month later; by winning five consecutive matches, UC Davis recorded the second-longest win streak in school history, and fell one win shy of equaling a record currently held by the 1991 and 2006 teams. However, the 2015 team accomplished something that no other team can boast: a four-match shutout streak

By recording four straight clean sheets on two separate occasions, this year's roster easily surpassed past records for the most shutouts in a single season. The former all-time mark, and total earned by a Division I team, was seven and six respectively.

Since 1996, Amy Armknecht held the school record for the lowest single-season goals against average. Once the 2015 season concluded, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Alexis Smith became the newest all-time record holder thanks to her miniscule 0.75 GAA. Not only was that figure the 42nd-lowest among all Division I netminders, her 10 shutouts was the 14th-highest total in the nation.

In her first season at UC Davis, Smith posted a league-high shutout total, which also doubled as the third-highest single-season total in Big West Conference history.

As frustrating as the Aggies were on defense throughout the entire season, their offense was equally as dangerous with five different players tallying a game-winning goal this season - one goal shy of matching the Division I record set in 2011.

Led by senior Haley Hughes with three - the third-highest single-season total during the program's D-I era - senior Ana Marija Sola and junior Rachel Smith each netted two game-winners. Picking up their first game-winning goal as an Aggie this year were sophomore Zuzu Romano, freshmen Crystal Crump and Riley Marshall.

Smith ended her second season at UC Davis with five goals, the 10th-highest total among all Big West players this season and in the Aggies' D-I history.

More often than not, Mandy McKeegan set up those game-winning opportunities since she was responsible for a team-high five of UC Davis' 19 assists. Her individual total matched the Aggies' single-season program record, and helped the sophomore garner a No. 7 ranking, in this statistical category, among all Big West players.

The Aggies not only succeeded on the field, but exceled off it as well this season. Even with the toughest academic standards in the conference, a league-high 10 student-athletes, out of 70 from the nine Big West schools, earned Academic All-Conference honors.

For the first time in 12 years, an Aggie also earned academic recognition at the district level when CoSIDA named Sola to its All-District 8 Team.

In a handful of weeks, the program will announce its newest members when the spring National Letter of Intent signing window opens. Recruited not only for their athletic talents, but academic prowess as well, these new Aggies will join a group of returners keen on continuing the Aggies evolution into one of the Big West's top women's soccer programs.

If 2015 provided a glimpse of the program's potential, the 2016 season cannot arrive fast enough for UC Davis women's soccer fans.
