The Aggies experienced an up-and-down final stretch of the regular season, going 2-2 in their last four games. Still, UC Davis managed to earn a first-round bye, setting the stage for the team’s first matchup against the Rams in program history.
Rhode Island punched its ticket to the second round with a 27-19 win over Central Connecticut State last weekend. The Rams will try to extend their winning streak to eight games and advance to the quarterfinals.
