DAVIS, CA -- Sophomore Sage Stobbart collected her fourth double-double of the year, and her seventh double-digit rebounding performance overall, with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while senior Katie Toole finished with 15 points and six boards, but the Aggies could not overcome a big fourth quarter by visiting Cal State Fullerton in a 71-61 loss on Thursday morning at The Pavilion.

The loss ended UC Davis' 28-game home Big West Conference winning streak, dropping the Aggies to 14-11 overall and 9-3 in league play, standing one-half game ahead of this Saturday's opponent, Hawai'i, in the conference standings.

Adding three blocks to her stat line, Stobbart finished in double figures for the third time in her last four contests, and tacked on double-digit rebounds for the fourth time in her last six. The 11 rebounds are her third-highest total this year, trailing only her 14 boards at UC Irvine and 12 at Pepperdine earlier this season. Toole finished 6-for-11 from the field, including a pair of three-pointers in a balanced scoring effort that saw all but one Aggie finish in the scoring column.

UC Davis kept it close in the first quarter, but entered the second frame down 14-12.

Fullerton kept adding to that lead, building a 25-21 advantage before UC Davis went on a 7-0 run, highlighted by a three from senior psychology major Sophia Song, to take a 28-25 lead. The Titans then battled back to even it up at 29-29 heading into halftime. UC Davis was strong from deep in the period, knocking down three three-point shots to account for nine of its 17 points.

Cal State Fullerton proceeded to claw their way ahead after halftime, using a 10-0 run after trading baskets to open the third period, but the Aggies battled back, scoring nine of the final 12 points to make it a two-point game, 49-47, as the game entered the fourth quarter. UC Davis knocked down three three-pointers in the quarter to score nine of its 18 total points.

The Titans kept widening their lead in the fourth, constructing a 59-49 advantage before UC Davis went on a 5-0 run, finished off by Toole's three, to shrink the deficit to 59-54 with 2:46 to go in the contest. Fullerton responded and outscored the Aggies the rest of the way, ending the game with a final score of 71-61.
