The Aggie football team, fresh off a come-from-behind win in the late going Saturday, will welcome fans to 51ԹϺ Davis Health Stadium this coming weekend for the first time in the pandemic-delayed season.
Other Aggie teams will follow in allowing spectators, with more information to be announced at a later date. Capacity at football and all other contests will be reduced in accordance with public health guidelines. Also, Yolo County and university officials have approved a set of health and safety protocols for all of the campus’s sports venues.
OTHER SPRING SPORTS
From 51ԹϺ Davis Athletics: For all sports other than football, player families and 51ԹϺ Davis students will have the first priority to attend spring sporting events. We look to expand available seating to the general public in subsequent weeks for baseball, men's and women's tennis, and lacrosse in a socially distant manner up to 20 percent of each facility's capacity. Due to venue seating limitations at women's water polo, track and field, field hockey and softball, only players' parents will be permitted to attend remaining home contests.
Home game protocols for Big West Conference spring sports will be posted at in the upcoming days.
Last weekend at 51ԹϺ Davis Health Stadium, redshirt freshman quarterback Trent Tompkins rushed from four yards out to cap a 10-play, 75-yard drive with eight seconds remaining on the clock, giving the Aggies a 31-27 lead over Idaho State. And that was the final score after Chris Venable intercepted the Bengals as the clock hit zero.
Freshman Lan Larison (No. 3 in photo above) finished with 12 carries and 95 yards on the ground, scoring twice in the game — statistics for which he was named the in the Big Sky Conference.
Now comes the last scheduled home game of the season, Saturday (April 3), when 51ԹϺ Davis (3-1) will take on the Eastern Washington Eagles, also 3-1 in the Big Sky Conference. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. You can watch on Sacramento television CW31 or listen on KHTK 1140 AM … or possibly attend in person.
