* The “rules” for the Causeway Cup say that the only gymastice events to be counted are the home and away dual meets, not the multi-team events.
Aggies opened the 2024-25 Causeway competition this evening with a 2-0 victory in women’s soccer in a game played in Davis. Causeway score is UCD 5, CSUS 0. Next event is volleyball on September 10 in Davis.
In other Causeway news UCD has posted the men’s golf schedule for the 2024-25 season and CSUS has posted their schedule for Fall 2024. The teams are both scheduled to compete in the Ram Masters Invitational in Ft. Collins, Colorado hosted by Colorado State on September 17-18. While Sac has not posted a winter and spring schedule for 2025, the UCD schedule include the El Macero Classic on April 11-13, an event in which both schools usually participate.
Belated edit - been on vacation: Causeway score is UCD 10, CSUS 0. Next event is men's golf on September 17-18 at the Ram Masters Invitational in Ft. Collins, CO.
After two rounds of the Ram Master Invitational Davis men's golf is in 14th of 18 teams at 17 over par. CSUS is in 8th place at 1 over par. Play continues with the third of three rounds tomorrow.
Davis men's golf finished the Ram Master Invitational in 13th place of 16 teams with a score of 15 strokes over par. Sac ended up tied for 7th at 3 over. Ags just could not recoer from a disastrous 14 over par first round.
We now go into asterisk scoring. Causeway score is (?) UCD 10, CSUS 5. That may change when the spring schedules are announced, and whether or not the powers that be count fall competition in what are traditionally winter or spring sports.
And we can add more asterisks after the women's golf teams compete in the Molly Collegiate open, a fall golf tournament hosted by ACC member California on September 30 and October 1 in Seaside.
UCD women's golf finished the three round Molly Invitational in a tie for 4th place of 11 teams with a score of 884 strokes or 20 over par. Sac ended up in 8th place at 901 strokes and 37 over par.
Diving further into asterisk scoring, the Causeway score is (?) UCD 15, CSUS 5. That may change when the spring schedules are announced, and whether or not the powers that be count fall competition in what are traditionally winter or spring sports. The UCD website does not include the fall golf events.
The next event, (on the posted schedules for both schools) is a fall softball game this coming Saturday in Sacramento.
EDIT: October 7. Neither school posted results for the October 5th fall softball game. All is right with the world.
Ags defeated Hornets in men's soccer this afternoon, 4-2, in a match played in Sacramento. Running Causeway cup score is, I think, UCD 20, CSUS 5. That will certainly change when the spring schedules are announced, and whether or not the powers that be count fall competitions in what is traditionally a winter or spring sport, golf.
Next scheduled Causeway competitions are in men's and women's cross-country when both teams for both schools compete in the NCAA West Regionals on November 15 in Colfax, WA, hosted by Washington State.
After the 42-39 UCD football victory (!!) the running Causeway score is UCD 40, CSUS 5.
The final Causeway event of the 2024 calendar year is men's basketball on December 14th in Sacramento. The game will be at Sac's state-of-the-art school gym.
