Around Aggieland (11/2)

Soccer

On Tuesday, the No. 13 Aggie soccer team exited the SEC tournament with 2-1 loss to South Carolina. It marked the first time the Aggies exited the SEC Tournament after playing just one match.

Texas A&M ultimately fell to 15-4-1 on the season. The Aggies await word on an NCAA D1 Championship bid. The announcements will be made Monday on 3:30.

Volleyball

On Wednesday, Aggie volleyball ended their stretch of four consecutive five-set setbacks. Hollann Hans had 24 kills to lead Texas A&M to a 3-1 victory over Auburn. Hans’ 24 kills set an A&M record for most kills in a four-set SEC match and put her within four kills of reaching 1,000 kills in her career.

The Aggies conclude a three-match road stretch at No. 25 Tennessee on Sunday, where Texas A&M is looking to avenge a 3-2 loss against the Volunteers on October 19.

Women's Basketball

Tonight, No. 20 A&M women's basketball team opens its 2018-19 season with an exhibition match against Oklahoma City. The Aggies are looking for their 11th straight exhibition win and their 7th exhibition win against Oklahoma City in that span. As a team, the Aggies tied last year for fourth in SEC standings. This year Texas A&M is picked to finish sixth in the SEC. 

This week, Chennedy Carter, last year’s unanimous National Freshman of the Year, was voted to the 2019 All-SEC Women's Basketball Preseason team in a vote of the league's head coaches. She also attended national women’s basketball media day on Wednesday at ESPN’s campus in Bristol, Connecticut. 

Softball

At Tuesday’s doubleheader, the Aggies earned a pair of victories against Blinn College. Last night, the Aggies won a 10-inning matchup against Galveston College, 10-5. The Aggies return to action tonight with another 10-inning game against Temple College. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.

Baseball

The Maroons and the Pinstripes are tied, 1-1, in the best-of three series of the Omaha Cup Championship. Bryce Blaum was a leader of the Maroon team yesterday at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs. The Omaha Cup Championship Series will conclude with a 3:30 p.m. game today at Olsen Field.

Swimming & Diving

The No. 12 Men's swimming and diving team looks for back-to-back wins over Texas for the first time since 1957, as the Aggies travel to Austin to face the No. 5 Longhorns. Last year, the Aggie men defeated the Longhorns, who would later become the NCAA champions. It marked Texas A&M's first dual meet win over Texas since 1962.

The No. 6 Aggie women will also be in Austin tonight to take on the No. 1 Texas women’s team. The Aggies are coming off an SEC opening win at Alabama two weeks ago where 3 women earned individual wins.

Women's Golf

The Aggies wrapped up their 2018 fall season on Monday at the Jim West Classic in San Marcos. Texas A&M’s Courtney Dow finished 6th overall at 5-under 211, marking her best 54-hole score since October 2016, when she began her SEC all-freshman campaign. The Aggies now break for the remainder of the semester and return to action in February at the Moon Golf Invitational in Melbourne, Florida.
