After an easy win over D2 Jessup, it gets tougher quickly. Idaho of the Big Sky comes to town fresh off a comeback 2 point win over Washington State. And looking for a little payback, since UCD beat them last year in Moscow, also in a comeback

The Vandals put four starters in double figures against the Cougars, led by Kyra Gardner’s 26. Preseason All Big Sky pick, Hope Hassan, contributed 17, while Ana Pinheiro and Lorena Barbosa had 16 and 10 respectively. Sophomore guard Ella Uriarte from Folsom High rounds out the starting five.

Ryann Bennet and Megan Norris will lead what was a balanced Aggie starting lineup in the Jessup game. UCD may be bit short-handed due to injuries to Sahana Kanagasabay, Helen Matthews, Vic Baker and Ally Fitzgerald. Regardless, Davis will be looking for solid contributions off the bench from freshmen Emmy Ersdala, Sophie Lentfer, and Carrington Davis, as well as redshirt sophomore, Theoni Tsami.

The early start is for Field Trip Day, with a large contingent of local elementary and middle school students expected. Bring your noice cancelling headphones and listen to Greg Wong on radio!!

Due to a previous commitment, I will miss this game, unfortunately.
