LAST TIME OUT
Despite a high-powered first quarter, UC Davis women's lacrosse suffered its third consecutive defeat, falling 16-11 to Arizona State on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Aggies (7-6) were out-shot 39-23 as the Sun Devils were dominant on the offensive side of the ball. UC Davis tallied just 19 shots on target, which is their lowest mark of the season.
 
Grace Gebhardt enjoyed her sixth game with three or more goals, firing a team-high seven shots to pace the UC Davis attack. Rhea Cosand racked up a career-high four goals in an outstanding performance from the freshman.
 
In goal, Ashley Laing recorded her 10th game with double-digit saves, making 13 stops on the day.
 
ABOUT THE AZTECS
San Diego State has posted a 6-9 overall record as both teams enter their final games of the 2023 season. The Aztecs are coming off a 15-12 win over Arizona State, snapping a three-game losing streak in the process.
 
Deanna Balsama has shined on the offensive end, racking up a team-high 44 goals on the year. The next best goal-scorer has been Caitlin Jones with 19 goals in her senior season. In goal, Sam Horan has made 177 saves with a save percentage of .496 in her 14 starts.
 
SERIES HISTORY
UC Davis and San Diego State have met 14 times dating back to February of 2012. The Aztecs lead the all-time series 8-6, but the Aggies prevailed in last year's meeting, grabbing a 21-17 win in the highest-scoring game of the series.
 
SENIOR SEND-OFF
Seniors Julie Byrne, Mia Lawrence, and Miriam Lebastchi will be playing their final game inside UC Davis Health Stadium and the final game of their collegiate careers. The three seniors will be honored prior to first draw during the Senior Day ceremony.
 
AGGIE MILESTONES
Two Aggies have reached historic feats in recent weeks. Ashley Laing recorded her 300th career save, becoming the fourth goalkeeper in UC Davis lacrosse history to achieve that milestone.

Grace Gebhardt recently grabbed her 100th draw control and currently sits at 128 for her career, which ranks her at eighth on the all-time list. 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.
