DAVIS, Calif. (Interstat) — A pivotal Big West Conference women’s basketball clash is set for Thursday when the UC Davis Aggies host the Cal State Fullerton Titans at The Pavilion at ARC. The Aggies (19-7, 9-2 Big West), riding a four-game winning streak, look to solidify their standing atop the conference. They enter with momentum after a 77-66 road victory at Long Beach State on Feb. 14, powered by a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double from center Megan Norris. The junior has been a consistent force, averaging a double-double in her last five games and posting 21 points in the teams’ first meeting. Cal State Fullerton (15-10, 7-4) aims to avenge a 73-67 home loss to UC Davis on Jan. 15 and rebound from a narrow 77-71 defeat to UC Irvine last Saturday. The Titans’ success hinges on guard Kya Pearson, who is coming off a 21-point performance in a win over Long Beach State and a 15-point, 6-assist effort against Irvine. Pearson has scored in double figures in six of her last seven contests. UC Davis boasts the conference’s best overall record and has won eight of its last ten. Their defense, allowing just 62.2 points per game in conference play, will be tested by a Titans offense that averages over 73 points. The matchup features a compelling contrast: UC Davis’s interior strength led by Norris against Cal State Fullerton’s perimeter attack spearheaded by Pearson. A Titans victory would tighten the conference race, while an Aggies win would create further separation near the top of the standings. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. PST on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026.
