IN THE RANKINGS…
UC Davis is unranked at the moment and dropped last meet by a score of 5-14. The Aggies had bright moments as Margaret Franke and Malena Palmer were able to pick up MOPs in the season opener. Auburn comes into this meet ranked No. 6 in the NCEA polls and are 1-0 on the season with their lone victory coming against No. 5 Georgia in upset fashion. By the time Auburn travels to Davis, they will more than likely have jumped even higher up in the rankings and will prove to be yet another tough and worthy matchup for the Aggies who are fresh off competing against the No. 3 ranked team in Texas A&M.
