Slugs Beat Up Cal Tech

The Slugs playing their first game against a D-3 opponent took advantage of numerous turnovers and put away the Cal Tech Beavers 82-46.  The Slugs turned a poorly played first half into a blowout as they settled down and ran their offense and turned up the pressure on defense to out score the Beavers 40-26 at the half.  “I was very disappointed in our play in the 1st half, we committed 17 fouls, accounting for 14 points,” stated an upset Coach Johnson.

Slugs Salted By Aggies

DAVIS, CA -- The UCSC Men Banana Slugs took their traveling road show (all games this year will be played on the road because of work being done on their home gym, the West Field House) to the home of the UC Davis Aggies and got handed a 71-49 loss.  Even though the score seemed lopsided, the game was a lot closer than it seems.  With 5 minutes left in the game, the Slugs were only down by 6 points (50-44). Then the Division One Aggies turned up the pressure with a full court press and forced the Slugs into several key turnovers and put the game away. (more)
