#PROTECTTHEPAVILION: A 3-0 start on Bob Hamilton Court has the Aggies humming at home, just one season after tying the program’s Division I record with a 12-2 mark at The Pavilion, winning their last nine straight at home dating back to a, 64-51, loss to Long Beach State on Jan. 12 of last season.

JOETERAMOTOAssoc. Head Coach12th Season

WINDEX WOMEN: Senior Marly Anderson cleaned the glass to the tune of a career-high tying 11 boards and wasjoinedindoublefiguresbyPeleGianotti,whoadd-ed 10 rebounds as part of her 18-point double-double. ItmarkedthefirsttimesinceMarch11,2016,againstUCRiverside at the Big West Tournament that the Aggies had a pair of players with double-digit boards.

DANI DISHES HER WAY TO PROGRAM RECORD: Already the program’s Division I record holder for career assists with 295, senior guard Dani Nafekh needs only fivemoreassiststobecometheeighthplayerinthehistory of the program with 300 for a career. Nafekh surpassed Hana Asano’s mark of 285 set from 2008-12 for the Division I mark and stands ninth on the all-time list, just four back of Kari Sivesind (1992-96) for eighth.

GIBB MAKES HER DEBUT: When redshirt freshman Emma Gibb grabbed a rebound and dished out an assist against Portland State on Feb. 17, it marked the McMinnville,Ore.,native’sDivisionIdebutandherfirstgame since her junior year of high school after missing allofherseniorprepseasonandherfirstyearatUCDavis due to injury.

BY THE NUMBERS:Losingonlyoneplayeroffoflastseason’s roster means Head Coach Jennifer Gross has an embarassment of riches statistically to work with for the 2017-18 campaign. The Aggies bring back all but 17 of their 2,274 points, all but 20 of their 1,242 rebounds, allbutsevenoftheir533assists,allbutfiveoftheir846fieldgoalsmade,everyoneoftheir252three-pointers,and all but seven of their free throws, from the 2016-17 season. What does it all mean? We don’t know, but numbers are fun.

MILESTONE ACHIEVED: UC Davis junior forward Morgan Bertsch became the 18th player in the history of the program to reach 1,000 career points with her basket inside at the 1:49 mark of the third quarter on Nov.12againstPepperdine.Bertsch,whofinishedwitha career-high tying 27 points -- 21 of those in the second half -- in the win over the Waves, became only the fourth junior in program history to accomplish the feat, joining all-time leading scorer Carol Rische, Sydnee Fipps (who ranks No. 2 on the all-time list), and Ellen Porshneva (who is No. 8 all-time in career points).

HOW BIG WAS THE HOOP?: En route to her 27 points against Pepperdine, Bertsch broke the UC Davis DivisionIsingle-gamerecordforfieldgoalsmadeintheprocess,making13-of-18fromthefieldtoeclipseJessica Campbell’s mark of 12 against Saint Mary’s on Dec. 17, 2007.

BERTSCH NETS BIG WEST WEEKLY HONORS: Thanks tohereffortsonopeningweekend,BertschpickedupBig West Conference Player of the Week honors for only thesecondtimeinhercareeronNov.13--thefirstsinceher 27-point night at San Francisco led to the honor on Dec. 26. The league award is the 15th earned by an Aggie since UC Davis joined the Big West in 2007-08, andthefirstsincePeleGianottiwashonoredonFeb.27,2017.

AGGIES WEARING BIG WEST TARGET: UC Davis was picked to repeat as Big West Conference champions by both the coaches and media, according to a vote released on Oct. 25. The Aggies receivedsixoftheninefirst-placevotesfromthecoachesand16ofthe19first-placenodscastbythemediaenroutetothetopspots.UCDavisfinishedwith77pointsoverallinthecoachespolltoshadesecond-place CSUN (69) and UC Santa Barbara (63), while collecting 166 points in the media poll, to out-place the Matadors (148) and Gauchos (112).

DAVIS DUO ARE PRESEASON PICKS: The Aggies placed a pair of returning starters on the coaches’ six-member preseason all-confer-ence team in junior post Morgan Bertsch and senior forward Pele Gianotti--bothAll-BigWestfirstteampicksaseasonago--whileBertsch was also selected to the preseason all-league squad by the media. Bertsch earned a spot on the conference’s preseason squad for the second straight season, while Gianotti became the sixth UC Davis player to earn preseason laurels, joining Bertsch, Haylee Donaghe, Paige Mintun, Sydnee Fipps, and Alyson Doherty.

TOURNEY TESTED SCHEDULE: A non-conference schedule that features six postseason teams from a year ago, and eight that finishedamongthetop150inthefinalRPIrankings,setsthescenefor the the Aggies in 2017-18. UC Davis will take on a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago in Oregon State and Big West rivalLongBeachState,whileWashingtonState(semifinals),Seattle(firstround),SaintMary’s(firstround),UCF(secondround),andFord-ham(secondround),allmadethepostseasonWNITfield.

BERTSCH’S BLOCK BONANZA: With her two blocks against Wash-ingtonStateinlastyear’sseasonfinale,Bertschsetanewschoolrecord with 57 swats in 2016-17 and enters the new season with 93 forhercareer--justsevenshyofbecomingthefifthplayerinschoolhistory to reach the century mark in that category. The biomedical engineering major from Santa Rosa, Calif., stands just 57 blocks shy of Paige Mintun (2006-11) and her 150 blocks for the career record.

STATE OF THE AGGIES: Half of the 16-member 2017-18 UC Davis women’s basketball roster is made up of players from outside the state of California -- the highest number of out-of-state student-ath-letes in the program’s Division I history. The eight out-of-staters haveadecidedPacificNorthwesttiltastheAggiecoachingstaffhas successfully mined the state of Oregon for three players (Pele Gianotti, Marly Anderson, and Emma Gibb), two more from Washing-ton (Kourtney and Karley Eaton), and another from British Columbia (Sage Stobbart) -- giving UC Davis a pair of Canadians along with senior Dani Nafekh (Ontario). Transfer guard Katie Toole, who must sit out due to NCAA transfer rules, hails from Farmington, Utah -- the first“BeehiveState”nativeintheprogram’sDivisionIhistory.

SEEING DOUBLE: Karley (older by one minute) and Kourtney Eaton arebelievedtobeonlythesecondsetofsisterstotakethefloorto-gether in the history of the women’s basketball program, joining Dru and Rachelle Hanft, who played together during the 1999 campaign. Taking it one step further, both the Eaton’s and Hanft’s are identical twins.
