LAST TIME OUT
UC Davis women's lacrosse suffered a heart-breaking 13-12 overtime loss to Oregon on Saturday afternoon at Papé Field.
 
The Aggies held a comfortable lead after one quarter of play, but the Ducks would storm back into the game to keep pace with UC Davis down the stretch. Down by two goals with just over three minutes remaining in regulation, the hosts scored twice, including a goal with 13 seconds left on the clock, to send the game to overtime. It was Morgan McCarthy's winner with 31 ticks remaining in the extra period that lifted the Ducks to their narrow victory.
 
Mia Lawrence and Rhea Cosand each posted a hat trick in the game, pacing the Aggies offensively. Alannah Scott continued her blistering form by scoring twice, making it five straight multi-goal games for the sophomore.
 
ABOUT THE GOLDEN BEARS
Cal brings a 3-10 overall record into Saturday's contest, going just 1-6 in PAC-12 action. The Bears have lost five games in a row dating back to March 19, with their last win coming on March 17 against Oregon.
 
Maya Lawliss leads Cal with 24 goals on the year while Amanda Morse has also reached the 20-goal mark. The Bears have used three different goalkeepers in 2023, but Alicia Souliotis seems to be the first option with a team-high 76 saves.
 
SERIES HISTORY
Cal leads the all-time series 22-14 after earning a narrow 16-15 victory in last year's meeting. The Aggies have won four of the last five games against their future PAC-12 foes.
 
AGGIE MILESTONES
Two Aggies have reached historic feats in recent weeks. Ashley Laing recorded her 300^th career save, becoming the fourth goalkeeper in UC Davis lacrosse history to achieve that milestone.
Grace Gebhardt recently grabbed her 100^th draw control and currently sits at 117 for her career. Just a sophomore, Gebhardt is just eight away from breaking into the top-10 all-time. Elizabeth Landry (2012-15) holds the program record for career draw controls with 253.
 
WELCOME TO THE PAC
UC Davis has accepted an invitation to join Pac-12 women's lacrosse as an affiliate member no later than the 2023-24 season.
 
San Diego State will also join the Aggies as affiliate members following a recommendation by the Pac-12 Council and approval by the Pac-12 Board of Directors at a recent meeting. UC Davis played without a conference in 2022 after the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation dropped lacrosse as a sponsored sport following the 2021 season. The Aggies faced five Pac-12 opponents in 2022, posting wins over Cal and Oregon while also going 1-1 against San Diego State. 
 
NEXT UP
The Aggies head to San Diego, Calif. to take on Arizona State for its final road game on April 23. First draw is scheduled for 12 p.m.
