Texas A&M heads to Oxford to face the #20 Ole Miss Rebels on Sunday. This game will air live on ESPNU with kickoff set for 1PM.
The Aggies are 7-3-2 all time against Ole Miss. Last year's matchup was a 2-0 victory for Ole Miss in College Station.
The Rebels are 9-2-2 on the season with a 3-2 mark in conference play. Ole Miss survived the first six weeks of the season without a loss before finally stumbling last weekend with a 0-1 loss to Tennessee. They followed that up with a 1-4 loss to Alabama on Thursday night to extend that losing streak to two. Conference wins have come against three of the bottom rung teams in Kentucky (2-1), Florida (1-0), and Auburn (1-0).
Ole Miss has outscored opponents 26-8 this season. Marykate McGuire and Mo O'Connor have combined for 12 of those goals and 8 total assists.
Ashley Orkus tends the goal and should be a name you recognize. Orkus is a three year starter with multiple All-American and SEC Goalkeeper of the year honors.
Ole Miss probably isn't as good as their record or ranking indicate. They've had some trouble scoring, but a stout defense and star goalkeeper have mostly kept their opponents off the board.
Like a popular 90s sitcom, the Rebel's success is based around Marykate and Ashley. And while I know the Aggies would rather be playing across the street from Olsen, they'll have to find some magic in front of a Full House in Oxford.
