FULLERTON, Calif. - Cal State Fullerton heads to UC Davis for a midweek matchup with the Aggies. The match will be on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in The Pavilion.
The Titans are coming off a big win over UC Irvine on Saturday as they completed the season sweep of the Anteaters for the first time in seven years. The victory also gave them their third conference win of the season, the most in a single-season for the program since 2013.
Led by Julia Crawford's ninth double-double of the season (12 kills, 13 digs), the Titans came out victorious in four sets. Tyler Fezzey also had a great night with 10 kills of her own while Savahna Costello led the way defensively with a match-high 25 digs. Felicia Marshall and Haley Carmo just missed double-figures with nine kills each in the win.
Cal State Fullerton is now 11-9 overall on the year and 3-6 in Big West action and sit in seventh place in the conference standings above UC Irvine and UC Riverside. As a team, they continue to have solid defense ranking ninth in the NCAA and first in the conference averaging 17.99 digs per set led by Costello's 5.55 dps. On the offensive side, it continues to be the Crawford show in Fullerton as the freshman outside hitter ranks 11th in the nation on attacks per set (12.39) and fourth in the conference in kills per set (3.90).
On the other side of the net, UC Davis is now 13-11 overall and 5-6 in conference after going splitting their two matches last week. The Aggies are in a tie for fourth in the Big West standings and rank in the middle of the pack in all the statistical categories. Senior Lauren Matias leads the offense with 3.59 kills per set and ranks fourth in the league in overall points.
The Titans are 13-16 in program history against Davis, but have lost the last 11 matches. Their last win against the Aggies was a five-set battle back in 2013 in Titan Gym while their last win at the Pavilion was in 2012.
