Texas A&M has advanced to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament with their win over LSU. The Aggies will meet 7 seed Vanderbilt at 8:30PM (Central) on Thursday. The game will air live on the SEC Network.
Vanderbilt is red hot on offense as they rode a 4 goal outing to a 4-2 upset of 2 seed Tennessee. It was their second consecutive 4 goal outing as they also dispatched Mississippi State by a score of 4-0.
Vandy is 6-4 on the season and have now outscored opponents by a margin of 19-12. Vanderbilt's 19 goals have come by committee as they've had 12 different goal scorers this season. Even through their 8 goal output in this SEC Tournament they only had one player score multiple goals (Maddie Elwell).
It's a narrow margin, but senior Haley Hopkins (#7) leads the team in scoring with 3 goals on the year. However, she's a runaway leader in shots with 27 on the year, including 11 shots on goal. She's also put away 2 gamewinners for the Commodores. Haley Hopkins was also Vanderbilt's only first team conference selection this season.
The aforementioned Maddie Elwell (senior, #15) was an All-Conference 2nd team selection at midfield. She has 2 goals on the season, both of which have come in this tournament. She's also added an assist and is second on the team in shots with 15, placing 7 on frame.
Sarah Fuller has served as goalkeeper through 7 games, including both tournament matches. She's allowed 7 goals while totaling 24 saves. In total, Vanderbilt has allowed 12 goals and has put up 3 shutouts.
Texas A&M did not face Vanderbilt in the regular season this fall, but it's likely they will face them again in the spring. Their last matchup came in 2019 in Nashville. The Aggies won that game 2-1 in double overtime. All-time Texas A&M is 9-1 against Vandy and 6-1 against the Commodores since joining the SEC.
