DAVIS, Calif. — The UC Davis beach volleyball team had its brief two-match winning streak snapped at the hands of Stephen F. Austin and No. 17-ranked Arizona on Wednesday afternoon, dropping both ends of its doubleheader by the scores of 3-2 and 5-0, respectively, at the UC Davis Beach Volleyball Facilty.

The Aggies fell to 3-5 overall, with the Lumberjacks moving to 5-5 overall and the Wildcats improving to 10-2 on the year.

UC Davis opened strong against SFA in the opener after the Lumberjacks had been shutout against Arizona earlier in the day. Junior Paloma Bowman and freshman Megan Luly, playing together for the first time this season, got the Aggies on the board with a straight set win at No. 2 over Hailey Hunt and Paige Schieferstein, 21-12, 21-19, followed quickly by the No. 4 pair of Heather Reed and Alexa Rockas, who rallied to defeat Neena Perdue and Zariah Williams in three sets, 16-21, 21-9, 15-9, for the 2-0 lead.

From there on out, it was all Stephen F. Austin, which posted wins at No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5, in straight sets en route to the 3-2 victory.

In the nightcap, the nationally ranked Wildcats swept past the Aggies, winning all five in straight sets to finish 2-0 on the day.

UC Davis closes out its only regular season homestand on Saturday (March 14) at Noon, hosting San Francisco.
