National exposure

One UC Davis program to keep an eye on this fall is men's soccer. The Aggies were more than impressive against the Big West Conference last season, compiling a 7-3-2 mark. That included a home win against UC Santa Barbara, which went on to win the national championship.

The Gauchos are ranked No. 3 in the country in College Sports News' preseason poll and have the No. 13-ranked recruiting class as well. Santa Barbara is in Davis on Sept. 29. (Yes, that's the same day the UCD football team travels to San Jose State). UCD travels to Santa Barbara on Oct. 12.

The Aggies, who have their top scorer back in Quincy Amarikwa (nine goals), open the season Aug. 31 at the Xavier Tournament.
