Albany, NY — Grace Austin started the action on this early Sunday morning with a breakaway goal 24 minutes into the game. The goal puts Austin at three on the year, good for third most among Aggies.

The Aggies were outshot by the Great Danes 22-2, yet still were able to keep this a one score contest. The Aggie goalkeeping duo of Kale Wagnon and Sarah Lopez had six saves on the day with Lopez collecting 4, and Wagnon recording 2. Even with the shot differential between both teams, the Aggies battled all game and even had some bright spots in their backline play, as Hayden Ma was able to garner a defensive save.

Both of the UC Davis shot attempts Sunday morning were on target as Lizzy Tedrow recorded the other lone shot attempt which happened around the 11 minute mark, but was ultimately saved by the Great Danes keeper, Hannah Mangan.

The attacking presence of the #21 ranked Great Danes didn't stop UC Davis from playing a hard 60 minutes. The Great Danes recorded 10 penalties while the Aggies failed to attempt one the entire game and still scrapped their way to take a highly ranked team down to the wire.

UC Davis (2-10, 1-5 AE) will face James Madison Friday, Oct. 21 to celebrate Senior Day and the careers of Izzy Porco, Milou Korthouwer, Grace Austin, Danielle Yau, Brooke Sanchez, and Kalli Wagnon.
