Match Info
The UC Davis Women's basketball team fell 71-68 to the Pepperdine University Women in a tightly contested NCAA women's basketball game on March 20, 2026. In a thrilling opening-round matchup of the Women's National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament, Pepperdine edged out UC Davis in a game that came down to the final possession. The match was a back-and-forth affair with both teams holding leads throughout.

The critical moment came in the final minute with the score tied; Pepperdine's guard drove the lane and drew a foul, sinking both free throws to take a three-point lead. UC Davis had a chance to tie on the final play, but a heavily contested three-point attempt from the wing rimmed out as the buzzer sounded.
