LAST WEEK
UC Davis suffered two difficult losses on the road last week, falling to Long Beach State and UC Riverside. The Aggies struggled on the offensive end, enduring two difficult shooting nights. Leading scorer Evanne Turner missed the contest against UC Riverside and Davis' team felt her absence in a big way, scoring a season-low 41 points while shooting just 33.3% from the field.

ABOUT THE MATADORS
After winning its first two games, CSUN has lost 23 straight coming into this weekend. The Matadors will be looking for their first Big West win in almost a year, with their last conference win coming on Feb. 23 of last year.

CSUN nearly knocked off UC Santa Barbara on Feb. 10, falling by just four points to the third-place Gauchos.

ABOUT THE ROADRUNNERS
Cal State Bakersfield is playing some decent basketball as of late, winning two of their last three games with a narrow defeat to UC Irvine in their last contest.

The Roadrunners will look to Shaunae Brown to carry the load offensively as she currently ranks second in the conference at 15.4 points-per-game.

SERIES NOTES 
The Aggies have won nine-straight games against CSUN and hope to extend their 33-16 all-time series lead this weekend.
 
Cal State Bakersfield leads the all-time series 10-6, but UC Davis carry a three-game win streak over the Roadrunners.

TURNER REACHES 1,500 CAREER POINTS
Evanne Turner ascended to fourth on the UC Davis all-time scoring list, passing both Jessica Campbell and Staci Stevens. The Fontana native has 1,516 points for her career and will look to further climb the ranks as third-place Sydnee Fipps is in her sights with 1,636 career points. Turner is one of four players in UC Davis women's basketball history to reach the 1,500-point milestone.
 
PRESEASON POLL
The UC Davis women's basketball team was picked to finish third in the league standings, and received three first-place votes according to a vote by the league's coaches.
 
Coming off of their impressive 2022-23 seasons, Evanne Turner and Tova Sabel were selected to the Big West Preseason Coaches' Team.
 
BAUGH JOINS COACHING STAFF 
Former WNBA player and Sacramento native, Vicki Baugh, joins Jennifer Gross' staff as an assistant coach. The Sacramento native was a standout for the University of Tennessee, reaching the NCAA Tournament in all four of her playing seasons with the Lady Volunteers. 
 
She won a national championship with the squad in the 2007-08 season before battling injuries for the next two years. Baugh battled back to enjoy an excellent end to her collegiate career, leading her team to back-to-back SEC titles and Elite Eight finishes in the NCAA Tournament. In her senior season, Baugh capped off her career in the college ranks by leading the Lady Vols in shooting percentage.
 
HOME IS WHERE THE WINS ARE
The Aggies are now 82-17 on their home floor over the past five-plus years, winning 36 of their last 45 and posting a winning record at home in each of the last nine campaigns.
 
SVANHOLM RETURNS FOR SENIOR SEASON 
Truly embodying the essence of the student-athlete is Lena Svanholm of UC Davis women's basketball. The forward has excelled tremendously off the court, as she was recently accepted into UC Davis' Ph.D program for Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Svanholm has announced that she will return for her 'last dance' in the 2023-24 campaign, becoming the only known active NCAA Division I women's basketball student-athlete to be enrolled in such a program.
