Following a tough loss at UC Riverside, where a 9-point third quarter and sub-par shooting from beyond the arc squandered an excellent defensive effort, the Aggies return home to face UC San Diego for the first time this season. The Tritons are having a bit of a down year overall, but currently sit in 4th place in conference play, just behind UCD. A win would push UCSD ahead of the Aggies as teams fight for seeding positions for the conference tournament.
Sumayah Sugapong at 14.0 ppg., and Sabrina Ma at 10.2 ppg. lead the Triton attack. Kayanna Sprigs paces UCSD with 6.6 rpg., while Gracie Gallegos and Erin Condron each gather 5 boards a game.
That was a very ugly loss. You don't win a lot of games making 26 turnovers that lead to 25 points. That just doesn't work.
I believe the officiating was atrocious - but it was the same both ways. We're lucky no one was hurt.
I've never seen these guys before and hope I never will again.
But the Ags have to stop making obvious passes. Teams have figured out the passing lanes. In a game where grabbing and lots of contact is almost encouraged this is especially true.
On a different note it was great to see Tara VanDerveer at the game. Her sister, Heidi, is the UCSD head coach.
Aggies drop another close one, 65-63. Cold from 3 in the 4th quarter. It was a chippy game...UCSD quite physical in a nasty sort of way. We thought we got the short end of the stick as far as officiating. What was okay for the Tritons to do - which forced many of the turnovers - resulted in fouls for the Aggies.
