An end-of-season lookback from some of the players. As one of the most well-known UC Davis Division I athletic teams, the men’s soccer team finished out their season with a difficult game against the UC Irvine Anteaters. The game ended in a nail-biting penalty kick (pk) shootout with neither the Aggies nor the Anteaters scoring in normal time or overtime during the game.

When it mattered most, his save blocked an Aggie goal resulting in the 8-7 final pk score.
