TEMPE, Ariz. — UC Davis lacrosse started hot and battled throughout its Big 12 matchup at Arizona State, but the Sun Devils would come away with the win despite the Aggies putting the pressure on in their conference showdown in the desert.

HOW IT HAPPENED 

• UC Davis kept thing close through the opening 15 minutes, setting the tone by bouncing back quickly after allowing an opening duo of goals with Cosand and Tory Agnew pulling the Aggies even nearly halfway through the opening period

• Fox would get her three goals in the second half, scoring once in the third and twice in the fourth, but the late production by the Aggie attacker would not be enough for UC Davis to lasso the Sun Devils
