For those of you still depressed over the Western Washington shocker on Saturday, there was some good news on another front on Sunday. We said to watch out for UC Davis men's and women's soccer this year. So far, so good.
The Aggie women clipped Fresno State 1-0 Sunday evening at Aggie Soccer Stadium after a golden goal header by Dayna Dumont in the 97th minute. (Wayne Tilcock was there, of course). That was after UCD won its season opener 1-0 over Kent State on Friday. The Ags head to Orlando, Fla. on Thursday to take on South Carolina at the UCF Invitational. Among Big West schools, Long Beach State, UC Riverside and Pacific are also off to 2-0 starts. No. 25-ranked Cal State Fullerton is 1-1.
The UCD men, meanwhile, were victorious as well, beating Pittsburgh 4-2 at the Ramada Xavier Challenge in Cincinnati, Ohio. Davis High grad Sule Anibaba recorded the first hat trick of his career. Not bad since he scored a total of two goals all of last season. The Ags host Oregon State of the Pac-10 at 5 p.m. at Aggie Soccer Stadium on Friday. As far as the Big West, defending national champ UC Santa Barbara hasn't lived up to the hype thus far, tying Stanford 2-2 and falling to Gonzaga 1-0 to begin the season.

Just a point of interest for those of you who wondered about temp light costs. I checked this morning, $16,000 each for two 50 candle arrays of lights (which per the company and the NCAA should be adequate for a division 1 football stadium). oldaggie72
