"This is a big meet for us," head coach Jeanne Fleck said. "UC Davis is one of our biggest rivals. I've never won a dual against UC Davis in my career here. I feel like this is the team that can do it. We are battling some injuries, but we are going to give it our all. I'm looking forward to a very competitive dual. We need to go into their house and handle business."
Fresno State Notes:
