With another successful weekend for Aggie Athletics behind us, it's time to take a look at the biggest storylines from Around Aggieland. On Monday's edition of TexAgs Radio, the fish bowl's own Richard Zane shared an update from A&M soccer, golf and more.


Football (5-1)
The Aggies are up to No. 5 (ahead of Florida) in this week’s AP Poll, and came in at No. 6 (behind Florida) in this week’s Coaches’ Poll.

Texas A&M travels to Knoxville this weekend for the first time in history. Tennessee owns the all-time series edge at 2-1, but the Aggies won the only matchup between the two schools as members of the SEC (2016). Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN from Neyland Stadium.

Soccer (6-1)
On Friday night, the Aggies defeated LSU, 2-1, at Ellis Field.

  • 10’ - 1-0 - Barbara Olivieri (A&M)
  • 26’ - 1-1 - Tiyana Alexander (LSU)
  • 36’ - 2-1 - Jimena Lopez (A&M

It’s matchday as No. 8 Texas A&M hosts Auburn this afternoon in the regular-season finale at Ellis Field. Kickoff is schedule for 3:00 p.m. CT and can be found for streaming on SEC Network+. This match is the make-up for the Sept. 27 date that was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols.

  • If the Aggies win today, they will clinch a share of the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship with Arkansas.

Volleyball (4-2)
Bird Kuhn and the Aggies are back in action this Friday, November 13, for the first of two road matches with the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville.

Women’s golf completed Liz Murphy Fall Collegiate at the UGA Golf Course in Athens on Sunday. The Aggies finished 9th/12 for the weekend behind Courtney Dow’s 12th career top-10 finish.

  • Amber Park (senior from Allen) finished tied for 13th: 74-72-73--219

On Sunday, men’s golf began play in the Jerry Pate National Invitational at the Old Overton Club in Birmingham, Alabama. Round 2 is today, and the tournament wraps up on Tuesday.

  • Aggies finished Round 1 in 12th place at +3 (18 strokes back of Georgia)
  • Brandon Smith (senior from Frisco) & Sam Bennett (junior from Madisonville) finished the round tied for 18th, both shooting 69 (-1)
