The Cardinal jumped out to an early 4-0 lead on Sunday afternoon, scoring three of their four goals off the stick of sophomore forward Corinne Zanolli.
But the UC Davis offense continued to keep the pressure on the Stanford defense, taking three shots on-goal and earning two corners in the first half. The Aggies would force four more saves by Stanford goalkeeper, Kelsey Bing, before the end of the second half but UC Davis could not make up the deficit.
The Aggies resume America East play on Friday (Oct. 5) hosting Pacific for a 3 p.m. game at the Aggies Field Hockey Facility.
