Karina Figueroa led the 49ers with 16 points, as the 49ers shot 39 percent for the game. UC Davis shot just 33 percent. The 49ers did not give up after an Aggies 9-0 run gave them a 36-26 lead early in the second half. The 49ers fought back to close to with 36-32, using their own 8-0 run, on a Figueroa three-pointer at 10:12. Three minutes later, UC Davis capped off a 11-2 run to lead 47-37 with 7:11 left.
