Your Texas Aggies head to Nashville for a Thursday night game at Vanderbilt. This match kicks off at 7PM and will stream on SEC+ through the ESPN App as well as broadcast live audio through RadioAggieland.or the 12thManApp.

Vanderbilt has become a pretty formidable SEC team since head coach Darren Ambrose arrived on campus in 2015. Last year, Vandy went 12-5-4 and advanced to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. A&M owns the all-time edge in the series, winning 10 of 12 against Vanderbilt.

Vandy is currently 6-3-3 overall with a 1-3 conference record. They are, however, undefeated at home, where the Aggies will face off against them. The three conferences losses came to three of the top teams in the SEC. That includes a 1-3 loss at South Carolina, a 0-1 loss at Alabama, and a 1-2 loss at Georgia. The win was a 2-0 result over Ole Miss.

In total, Vandy has outscored opponents 21-11. Scoring has been led by Rachel Deresky and Courtney Jones, who each have 4 goals on the season. Kate Devine has done a solid job in goal, allowing just 9 goals on the season while totalling 27 saves. Vanderbilt has six shut outs on the year, while being shut out twice by opponents.

This feels like it should be a fairly evenly matched game and will serve as a good challenge for the Aggies, who do seem to have some momentum building. We'll need to keep that going for a Thursday night win.

Big road game - need to get off to a fast start and Hayes needs to sacrifice a bucket of chicken to remove the goal post voodoo

Expect a slow, soggy field as they're calling for rain all afternoon and evening. That's not what we want.

Corndog shows up and shows out against her old club getting the match clenching goal. Ags win 2-1.

We had 3 players on the Vandy girl with the ball and did not guard the player going down the sideline.

This has been an atrocious effort so far. Worst I've seen them play all season

Horrific. That sound you hear is the chances of us making the NCAA tournament going down the drain.

Being outhustled combined with a definite lack of mental focus by A&M. Back line is slow and not in communication (especially between the keeper and her backs). Ugh!

G needs to start benching some of these back line players. I can take getting beat but this is just atrocious effort and inexcusable. literally jogging

Cornog, Matula (both) and Pounds need to be far better on defense. 3-0 now but should be 4-0. Pounds is not tracking back properly and leaving Vanderbilt central midfielders unmarked in front of our goal. Offense not clicking at all after first 15 minutes.

Can Kenna play on the back line?

We don't use our full roster, ridiculous . We look exhausted. I shudder to think how many miles Ady Armenta & Taylor Pounds have run per game.

The 2nd goal we had 3 players not pick up the attacker - just chasing ball

Not sure wtf G is doing with his mystery lineups

Really disappointing effort in that last 20 minutes of the half. We look slow, tired, and just not mentally focused on the back line. 2 of the 3 goals given up were just being switched off and not bothering to mark players running free in the box. On offense we just don't have that final touch to set up goal scoring chances and that's not something that is fixable except through recruiting.

Other times we have had such a lopsided half we are playing someone like Florida State or Duke. Vanderbilt is not them. But G can tell the players that last week UT was down by 3 with 19 minutes to go at MSU and got a tie!

Why are we changing out goalies every other game?

Too many appear to be just going thru the motions. Go thru the roster until you find some aggressive players.

Defenders are not typically subbed. Central midfielders are often subbed in college play. One of our issues is that our central midfielders are average and not true game changers. They simply do not have what it takes at this point in the season to alter the course of a meaningful game in a positive way.

I mean yes I agree but our back line looks like they are running in mud right now
