LOS ANGELES – Both LMU and UC Davis enter the week with five conference wins and have a pivotal head-to-head matchup to determine final WWPA Tournament seedings. The #12 Lions (12-9, 5-1 WWPA) host the #11 Aggies (11-7, 5-0 WWPA). Following LMU's final conference game of the regular season, the Lions will host Occidental for a Saturday afternoon contest.
Â
UC Davis enters the week unbeaten in the WWPA, but have the remaining top two programs still on their schedule. The Aggies open their week at Burns Aquatics Center for the 3 p.m. game against the Lions before heading down south to face #10 UC San Diego with a potential conference title on the line.
The Lions, Aggies, and Tritons could be in a situation where the teams are tangled in a three-way tie for first. If LMU defeats UC Davis, then the Aggies turnaround and top UC San Diego, the three would all finish the regular season at 6-1, and tiebreakers procedures would go into place prior to the tournament.
Â
Thursday afternoon's game will be the third time this season that the Lions and Aggies will face another. UC Davis holds the season advantage, topping LMU by a goal in the season-opening Triton Invitational, then edging the Lions in the So Cal Invitational by just two goals.
The week will conclude with a non-conference home game against Occidental College, who ranks in the top-10 of the Division III National Poll. The Tigers (9-14, 1-9 SCIAC) will be playing in their second game of the day on Saturday, after facing Claremont-Mudd-Scripps earlier that morning.
