It's NCAA Tournament Time! The Aggies embark upon their 2018 conquest for a College Cup appearance tonight in College Station. The Aggies host the North Texas Mean Green with kickoff set for 7:00PM. This game will be broadcast on SEC+ and all students GET IN FREE.

UNT is 15-2-3 on the year and doubled up on conference titles this year - winning the regular season title and the Conference USA tournament trophy. North Texas is a pretty quality opponent compared to many A&M faces in these first round matches. The Mean Green are 33 in the RPI rankings.

Notable season results include a pair of common opponents: UNT tied Alabama 1-1 (A&M lost 0-1) and lost 0-1 at Santa Clara (A&M won 4-0).

The Mean Green have outscored opponents 40-12 on the season, they have shutout 11 opponents and have been shutout twice themselves (Old Dominion & Santa Clara). Scoring has been led by Aaliyah Nolan (#11) with her 10 goals and 4 assists. Taylor Torres (#8) has 7 goals as well, including a team high 4 gamewinners. Torres also leads the team with 5 assists.

Kelsey Brann has seen the bulk of minutes in goal for the Mean Green. She's allowed 11 goals while making 68 saves.

Don't look for a pretty game today. A&M tends to struggle against physical play and the Mean Green don't know how to play clean. North Texas is #15 in the country in Fouls/Game with 12.2. Put another way, UNT has 244 fouls on the season and 19 yellow cards. A&M has 162 fouls and 8 yellow cards. Mean indeed.

A&M is 4-0 all-time against UNT, however the last meeting in 2015 was a tense double overtime affair.

This will be a tougher game than A&M wanted in the first round as I'm sure UNT was a team they were hoping to avoid. A&M ultimately has a pair of winnable games next weekend should they advance, but UNT deserves their full attention first. I think A&M is capable of handing the Mean Green their 3rd shutout of the season. Just winning and staying healthy are the goals this weekend.

We haven't played in 10 days so we need to look sharp early. Should have plenty of free kick opportunities and really need to convert.

Shannon Scovel on NCAA.com had the following preview:

An in-state contest, North Texas will travel to College Station to take on the Aggies after winning the Conference USA tournament for the automatic bid. Texas A&M, however, will be a tough opponent for the Mean Green, as the Aggies average 2.3 goals a game and have experience in tight games against ranked opponents. North Texas can compete, but it will rely on dependable goalkeeper Kelsey Brann and hope she can stop Texas A&M's Ally Watt and the rest of the Aggie attack.

We don't play well in the cold and we don't play well against physical teams. Doesn't bode well for tonight's game. I think we'll win but I don't think it'll be a comfortable win.

Should have been a yellow card. Clearly stopped a goal scoring opportunity.

Hill needs to continue driving into the attacking third. The space will be there.

A&M controlling the match in all phases but still looking for the opener.

UNT nearly scores off a corner. Alston was there to clear it off the line. Morche was beat.

UNT doesn't threaten much in the run of play. Set pieces are another story. Important for A&M to limit those opportunities.

A&M is controlling the match but UNT had the most dangerous chance of the half.
