UC Davis takes a 12-7 record and an unbeaten 4-0 conference mark to the Julian Fraser Memorial, its final tournament of the season. The Aggies face UC Merced and No. 18 Harvard on Saturday, then No. 6 Princeton on Sunday, with rematches against Harvard and Princeton after earlier wins over both teams.

By the Numbers
  • UC Davis is 12-7 overall and 4-0 in conference play.
  • The Aggies beat UC Merced 17-6 and Harvard 17-13 in September.
  • Princeton is 17-3; UC Davis leads the all-time series 4-4 and has won the last 3 meetings.
  • Thomas Kiesling has scored 65 goals this season.
Yes, But

UC Davis enters with momentum after a strong conference start, but its weekend includes two ranked opponents. Harvard arrives on a 7-game winning streak, while Princeton has won 3 straight before a loss to Cal.

State of Play
  • The tournament runs Oct. 24-25, with UC Merced and Harvard on Saturday and Princeton on Sunday.
  • The Aggies are seeking a second straight conference championship after winning the Big West title in 2025 and moving to the WCC for 2026.
What's Next

The Aggies’ final tournament offers a chance to build on their conference-opening run and test themselves against ranked competition before the season continues.

Bottom Line

UC Davis has already shown it can beat two of this weekend’s opponents; repeating those results against a surging Harvard and a strong Princeton would reinforce its early-season conference statement.
