I’d like to see Sussex shooting the free throws down the stretch.

Sac State is a Big Sky school, until next year when they’ll become one of the scrappy Big West schools.

GO AGS!

UCD 62-60. Stingers DOWN!!

GO AGS!!

I've never seen any at Costco, but we usually don't look that carefully at the clothing area. I'd call the store.

There's also a UCD shop next to the Varsity Theatre in downtown.

By the time Sac might be willing to eat humble pie, BSC might have the conference football schedule in the works, or even finished. Remember, the conference is moving to a 9-game schedule next season. Makes redoing things more complicated.

Would BSC even be willing to take Sac as a football only member, knowing that they’d still be intending to leave? Sac’s other sports are committed to the Big West.

5-0 so far. 6-0 if WBB holds serve tomorrow night.

Make that a 6-game sweep.

Volleyball team sweeps CSU Bakersfield on Senior Day, despite an uncharacteristically rough serving night. Wins the conference by 2 games. Earns the #1 seed in the BW Tournament.

Let’s finish the job! GO AGS!!

Tonight Davis takes on CSU Bakersfield. A win and the Aggies claim their first (and last) Big West regular season championship, and the #1 seed in the BW Tournament.

GO AGS!!

I agree that the Aggies are a better team than they’ve shown the last two games. Part of it is the growing pains of a young team. 7 of the 10 currently active players have been in the program for less than two full years. And only Ryann Bennett and Tegan Young played big minutes last year. As good as they maybe, and I think several are very good, most are still learning the college game.

And the ladies need to get over looking at the name “Stanford”on the jersey and seeing “Superwoman”. The seniors have been conditioned to expect to lose to the Cardinal, at least subconsciously. It’s going to take actually beating Stanford to change that. Perhaps not just in basketball, or just once, but across the board, since we play them every year in several sports. With some consistency.

Yes he did! Kudos to Dan Connors! He’s steadily built a solid program that will hopefully be immediately competitive in the MW.

AND it seems like he’s pretty settled here, so the volleyball program can continue to ascend.

I think, regardless of whatever timeline UCD admin may have in mind, it’s the “be prepared.” Realignment chaos probably isn’t over, and may not be for sometime. Having a better football facility will allow us to have maximum flexibility, come what may.

Aggies fight off a determined CSUN squad, prevailing 15-10 in the 5th set. Davis on their heels much of the night, but find a way.

A successful graduate post would be the type of player to look for 1st IMHO. The one-year master’s program at the Graduate School of Management has been a good draw for UCD Athletics.

A second type of player would be someone like a junior or redshirt senior who hasn’t gotten the playing time they hoped, but otherwise fits the UCD WBB player profile. The kind of player the Aggies would’ve liked to recruit as a freshman.

With yesterday’s end to the Early Signing Period, time for first impressions of the incoming recruiting class, and what’s might come via the Transfer Portal and the Regular Signing Period, which starts April 15, 2026.

Currently, the 2026 Class consists of 6’3” post Marta Forsline, and backcourt players Anna Bassett (6’0”), Rebecca Donnelly (6’1”), Layla Dixon (6’0”) and Taylor Hicks (6’0”). When added to Emmy Ersdala (6’1”), Sophie Lentfer (6’0”) and Carrington Davis (5’10”) from the 2025 Class, the immediate realization is that the Aggies are getting taller in the backcourt. Indeed, Davis may have one of the taller overall rosters in the Mountain West next season.

Secondly, UCD is continuing to build to rum. Bassett, Donnelly, Dixon and Hicks can all run the floor. Forsline’s junior year highlights showed some ability to move, while a clip from Minnesota’s 3x3 Championships in August demonstrates real growth in movement, as well as court awareness and passing ability. Also, like Sophie Lentfer, she's a volleyball player in high school, which adds a movement dimension.

Next, when the five signees are added to the the six definite returnees - Ersdala, Lentfer, Davis, Ryann Bennett, Avery Sussex, Tegan Young, and Theoni Tsami, next year’s roster already is as large as this season’s. With 2 additional scholarship spots available, the Aggies may have a larger squad next year, either because of other returnees (Helen Matthews?), or new signings.

Finally, I’ve gotta think that Jen Gross and staff are probably looking for another post player. Even if she returns, Ally Fitzgerald’s recurring back issues have unfortunately rendered her unavailable.and “availability is the most important ability”. Perhaps, through the transfer portal, looking for an older, more experienced player to give Forsline time to develop. Theoni Tsami and Tegan Young are currently backing up Megan Norris in the post, in Fitzgerald’s absence. Both are a little undersized for the position, especially in the Mountain West,

Add Rebecca Donnelly, a 6’1” wing from Sydney, Australia to the 2026 recruiting class. Playing in the Northern Suburbs Basketball Association, Donnelly was named the league’s Junior Player of the Year this season. She was recently selected by Basketball Australia to participate in the FIBA U17 Oceania Championships this December.

TY!

The UCD Worm's Volleyball team returns home for the final week of the regular season, still in 1st place. On Thursday, the Aggies host 5th place CSUN (9-7 BW; 16-11 overall). A win clinches at least a tie for the regular season championship.

GO AGS!

For sure! Vic was on the floor twice after loose balls in her initial 2 minute stint, picking up a foul each time. Taking 5 minutes to get her last 3 fouls, was actually an improvement! Hope she got some of her frustration from missing 3 games out of her system.

Getting her back will improve the second unit. She can play all 3 of the backcourt positions, and with her length and willing physicality, can even guard some small 4's.
