Thursday Night's Alright For Soccer. The Aggies are in Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at 7PM. After a 9 game home-stand, this is the first trip away from College Station for the 2016 Aggie squad.
Vanderbilt sits in their traditional spot in the bottom quadrant of the SEC. They're not good, but at least they aren't as bad as Mississippi State. Vanderbilt beat State in double overtime on Sunday to propel themselves to a 5-4 overall record and a 1-1 mark in conference. Vandy lost the conference opener at Auburn 1-2.
Their 4 other wins came over teams that you couldn't name the mascot for. And so did one of their losses: Anyone know Lipscomb's mascot?
The Aggies have a common non-conference opponent in Florida State, who Vanderbilt hosted in August and lost to 0-3.
Vanderbilt hasn't updated the stats on their website, like some jerks, but it looks like Sasha Gray leads the team in goals with 4. Grace Jackson has 3 goals along with a team high 5 assists.
The Aggies are 7-0 all-time against Vanderbilt, including last year's 1-0 nailbiter.
As evidenced by last year, you can't have an off day in the SEC, even against the lower level teams. The Aggies are looking for a scoring spark with so many pieces dinged up on the bench. It would be nice to see a big-time 5-0 win tonight, but things are likely to play out more similar to what we saw last year against Vanderbilt.
