  • Sarah Canavan scored the all-important lone goal at 83:39 at Long Beach State on Thursday night to give UC Davis the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye at the 2022 Big West Championship, picking up Big West Freshman of the Week distinction. 

  • The unassisted goal was Canavan’s third on the year, tying her for third on the team chart, and second game-winner. The redshirt freshman forward out of Capitola came off the bench and was credited with two shots, both on target. No other Aggie had a shot on goal in the contest. 

  • Canavan has appeared in all 18 matches thus far for UC Davis in 2022, drawing starts in each of the first 13. She needed just 15 minutes on the pitch against the Beach, a season low, to make her mark. 

  • Canavan is a first-time conference weekly award winner, and UC Davis’ first Big West Freshman of the Week since teammate Emma Vane last year on Sept. 27, 2021.
