GAME HIGHLIGHTS & NOTES

- UC Davis got on the board first, converting on it's first shot of the game off a corner at 20:25.

- Providence tied the game as sophomore Mikayla Michals (Needham, Mass.) scored her first goal of the season off a tip-in at the left post.  The goal was assisted by sophomore Allyson Parker (Orange, Mass.).  The goal came off of the Friars' seventh corner of the afternoon.

- In the first half, Providence led in shots (13-3), shots on goal (8-1) and penalty corners (7-3).

- The Friars took a 2-1 lead in the second half on Kara Sanford's (Hazleton, Pa.) first goal of the season.  UC Davis mishandled the ball at the top of the circle on a penalty corner.  Providence used a quick restart and connected on two passes down field to find Sanford on the left side.  She carried the ball into the circle and fired a backhanded shot into the upper right hand corner of the cage.

- The Aggies closed the game with two goals, including the game winner with just five seconds remaining in regulation.
