In the recent past, a season finale of Texas A&M vs. Florida soccer would be a compelling match with conference title implications. There was a time that it seems these two sides would rule the SEC forever.
Now it's a match that will determine if one side make the SEC tournament at all and if the other side will end up winless in conference play.
Texas A&M faces the Florida Gators in Gainesville tonight (Thursday) at 5PM. The match will stream live on SEC+ and audio will come through the 12thman app.
Florida is 2-13-1 on the season with a mind numbing 0-8-1 conference record. The tie came against the other winless SEC team - Kentucky.
Florida is bad, but have managed to hold most of their SEC losses to one goal games, so it's not like they're being completely humiliated. It's just when you string together a dozen of those type of losses that it's demoralizing.
Florida has been shutout 7 times this season and has been outscored 15-35. They average about 10 shots per game while allowing their opponents 13.5.
Closing the season out against Florida is an absolute gift. This is a MUST win for Aggie Soccer in order to make the conference tournament. The tie with Mizzou means that they'll need a little help as well. An Aggie win and a Missouri or Ole Miss tie/loss will put the Aggies through (An Aggie tie and a Missouri or Ole Miss loss would also work).
There's a lot riding on this game and the Aggies have no excuse not to win. Realistically, if the Aggies can't win this game, they won't make the postseason and they'll prove they didn't deserve to anyway.
