STANFORD, Calif. -- UC Davis dropped both ends of its first road doubleheader, falling 5-0 to 13th-ranked host Stanford then losing to 11th-ranked California by a similar score, wrapping up Aggie action at Stanford Beach Volleyball Courts Saturday afternoon.

The Aggies move to 2-2 during their inaugural season.

The No. 4 pair of Rose Holscher and Savanah Schroeder was the only UC Davis team to pick off a set in the opener against the Cardinal. Holscher/Schroeder battled to a 25-23 loss in the first set, then snared a 23-21 win in the second before falling by a 15-9 final in the deciding frame.

The remaining four Aggie teams lost by 2-0 match scores: Lauren Matias and Jane Seslar at No. 1, Josephine Ough and Heather Reed at No. 2, Paloma Bowman and Chelsea Maeglin at No. 3, and Ally Reyes and Alexa Rockas at No. 4.

Matias/Seslar, Ough/Reed, Bowman/Maeglin and Holscher/Schroeder each lost their matches in straight sets against the Golden Bears in the afternoon dual. The No. 5 pairing also saw the debut of freshman Madelin Smith in the UC Davis lineup. She teamed with Demari Webb, who debuted as an exhibition pair with Rockas against Sacramento State one week earlier.

This marks the final UC Davis competition for the winter quarter. The team will return to action on March 23 at Cal.
