MORAGA, Calif. – Entering Thursday's non-conference game at Saint Mary's, the Gaels were ranked No. 6 in the nation, held a 31-game overall unbeaten streak — the ninth-longest all-time in NCAA Division I history — and a 26-game unbeaten streak at home.

Thanks to Whalen Shinn's goal in the 51st minute, which tied the game at one apiece, and three unanswered scored within 11:19 of game time late in the second half, UC Davis snapped both of those streaks, and earned another victory over a nationally ranked opponent by defeating SMC, 4-2
