The Short Story:Â In a cutthroat game to determine the leader of the Big West Conference, the Aggies fall just short of a win against the No. 8 ranked UC Irvine Anteaters in a brutal battle.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
- Â A super sprint and goal combo to start the game off strong is credited to sophomore Timothy Kerr
- Redshirt freshman Thomas Kiesling led the Aggies in goals with a hat trick,
- Graduate student Holden Neach was an all-around threat, adding a goal, assist, a drawn exclusion, and four steals for the Aggies
- Graduate student Aleix Aznar Beltran, redshirt senior Colin Nicholls, and Timothy Kerr all registered two goals apiece
- True freshman Gabe Bensen also unloaded an unassisted goal to the back of the net
- Redshirt senior Will Nomura drew four exclusions to give the Aggies the powerplay advantage
- Junior Frank Laptin defended the cage with six saves

UP NEXT:Â Â The Aggies will face off against the last conference opponent No. 13 UC San Diego for our senior day match next Saturday at noon, honoring our four graduating seniors and all their hard work throughout their time as Aggies.
