A win tonight would keep the Aggies solidly in the hunt for the Big West regular season championship. Coach Jen Gross’ squad has struggled against top level teams both in and out of conference play this season. Though not unusual for such a young team, it would be great to see them take a step forward as they approach the halfway point in conference play.
