AGGIE STORYLINES…
• Senior
Ally Deremer claimed her third career Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Defensive Player of the Week honor on Monday — all three coming this season.
• Deremer finished with 10 draw controls in the near comeback against Colorado on April 9, the most by an Aggie since Elizabeth Landry had 11 against Saint Mary's in 2015 and the 11 by
Kate Graham against Radford in 2019.
• It was also only the fifth double-digit draw control game by an Aggie since 2015, joining a pair of performances by
Shannon Geary against Long Island (2017) and Fresno State (2018).
• The Aggies have claimed four of the league's nine defensive player of the week honors handed out this season, with goalkeeper
Taylor Mathieson also winning the award on March 1.
• UC Davis has also won the conference's top weekly offensive honor five times and top rookie once.
• The 20 goals scored by the Aggies against the Ducks in the first meeting this season were the most by either team in the history of the series.
• With the win over San Diego State on April 11, Head Coach
Suzanne Isidor improved to 5-0 in MPSF matches in her UC Davis coaching career.
• Kendal Seifert came off the bench to have, perhaps, the best game of her career, finishing with four goals, four assists, and eight points, in the win over San Diego State.
• Seifert tallied her fifth hat trick of the season and tied her career high in goals originally set at Stanford earlier this year, while setting a new career high with the four assists — her first four helpers of the season.
• Seifert's eight points are tied for the most by an Aggie this season, matching
Maddie Myers' eight-point outing (five goals and three assists) at San Diego State back on March 5.
• Myers also added three goals against the Aztecs for her eighth hat trick of the season, matching teammate
Sorana Larson for the team lead.
• The 10 assists against San Diego State were the most by the Aggies in a single match since having the same number against Mercer in a 16-13 win on Feb. 17, 2019.
• Sophomore
Ashley Laing made her first career start in the win over San Diego State, making a career-high 12 saves on the day to earn the win.

Alex Agnew finished with her fourth hat trick of the season and posted her second three-goal, three-assist, game of the year (Oregon on Feb. 21).
• Myers and Larson are the only two Aggies to score in every match this season.

• With six goals last week, Larson maintained her hold on eighth place on the school's career list with 120, needing 12 more to reach Allison Stonebarger (1998-00) for seventh, and trails former teammate
Amanda Outcalt (2017-20) by only three points for 10th on the all-time list.
• Graham finished with three draw controls in the win over Colorado and five more against San Diego State, to give her 180 for her career, ranking second on the all-time list behind only Elizabeth Landry, who accumulated 253 draw controls from 2012-15.
