LEXINGTON, Kentucky The No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies delivered a bruising 3-0 shutout victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in Friday night's SEC opener at Bell Soccer Complex.

Kenna Caldwell was brilliant in goal, making seven saves to register the clean sheet for the Maroon & White.

Maile Hayes tallied a goal in her fourth consecutive match as her icebreaker in the 17th minute was her fifth tally in the last four contests.

Makhiya McDonald notched the first goal of her career in the waning moments of the first half as the Maroon & White's lead ballooned to three goals.

The Aggies stormed out to a 3-0 advantage in the first half making the most of their five shots. Taylor Pounds scored the middle goal in the stanza scoring A&M's first penalty kick of the season.

The Wildcats owned the edges in shots (7-5) and shots-on-goal (4-3), but most of Kentucky's first-half shots were from distance and A&M keeper Kenna Caldwell was up to the task with four saves in the opening act.

For the match, a frantic Kentucky squad owned the edge in shots (14-8) and shots-on-goal (7-3). Corner kicks (3-3) and fouls (11-11) were equal.

The Maroon & White continued their dominance over the Wildcats, improving to 8-0-1 all-time, including seven consecutive victories. Texas A&M has outscored Kentucky 13-2 in the last three meetings.

The Aggies improved to 5-2-1 on the season and 1-0-0 in the SEC. Kentucky dropped to 5-2-2 overall and 0-1-0 in league play.
