October 22, 2011 10:54 PM

A day after falling to Long Beach State in five sets, the Cal Poly volleyball team answered with a 25-20, 25-22, 26-24 sweep over Cal State Fullerton on Saturday.

The win puts the Mustangs in a three-way tie with UC Santa Barbara and Pacific for second place in the Big West Conference. And with the Mustangs, winners of five of their past seven matches, heading to Pacific on Friday at 7 p.m., they’ll have a chance to improve their standing in the Big West. The Mustangs have seven matches remaining this year.

Against the Titans, Kristina Graven had a team-high 14 kills, and Jennifer Keddy had 10 kills for Cal Poly (9-12, 4-4 Big West).

Lauren Law led the Mustangs with 17 digs, Catie Smith had 12 and Kate Walters had 10. Walters also had 40 assists.

MEN’S SOCCER

UC Davis 2, Cal Poly 1

Despite grabbing the lead in the 66th minute, Cal Poly (6-7-2, 3-4-0 Big West) could not hold on to defeat UC Davis, suffering its second consecutive conference loss.

After a scoreless first half, Cal Poly took the lead with an assist from Keegan Smith to Kyle Montgomery, who sent a long ball into the top shelf of the net.

But Aggies forward Matt Weisenfarth scored his fifth goal of the season to tie the score with seven minutes remaining. Then, just three minutes later, sophomore midfielder Alex Aguiar scored the game-winner for the Aggies on a penalty kick.

It was the second road loss of the week for the Mustangs, who began the trip in a three-way tie for second in Big West standings with UC Davis and Cal State Northridge. But after their loss to the Aggies and a 1-0 loss to Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, the Mustangs dropped into a tie for fourth with Cal State Northridge.

Cal Poly’s other remaining doubles team of Jocelyn Davis and Ane McPike was defeated by Cal’s Tayler Davis and Cecilia Estlander 8-2.
