Football dominated and picked up another SEC win, volleyball wins again, soccer maintains their success and swimming & diving looks forward to a rivalry meet all in this week’s “Aggies in Review.” Here are the details from last week’s action.
The final home-stand started off with a bang, as the Aggies cruised to a 49-30 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs (3-5, 1-4 SEC). Kellen Mond had four first-half touchdowns, two rushing and two passing, carrying the Aggies to a 28-10 halftime lead. Touchdown on both of the Aggies (5-3, 3-2) second-half possessions put this game out of reach quickly. The defense was back in full force, and did so through forcing three turnovers, including a crazy interception by sophomore Devin Morris. The Aggies look to get to bowl eligibility and their sixth win this Saturday against the UTSA Roadrunners (3-4, 2-2 C-USA) in another 11:00 AM kickoff on the SEC Network from Kyle Field.
After the road trip sweep, the Lady Aggies (14-5, 6-3 SEC) have put together another win, this time over Georgia, and now have a three game win streak heading into the main portion of conference play. That streak will get tested with two critical matchups this weekend, first away against #15 Kentucky (Friday at 6:00 PM), and then at home against #24 Missouri (Sunday at 2:00 PM).
Another perfect weekend for Aggie Soccer and more goals for freshman Ally Watt, scoring six of the seven Aggie goals over the two games this weekend. The Aggies (12-3-3, 6-2-1 SEC) escaped Nashville with a 2-1 win in double-overtime, and looked to carry that momentum back home against Missouri. Momentum indeed follows success, as the Aggies were victorious, 5-3 over the Tigers under some beautiful, sunny October skies. They close the regular season on Halloween Night at home against the Ole Miss Rebels (9-5-3, 3-3-3) and look to do well at the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Alabama later next week.
All eyes will be on the Rec Center Natatorium, as the Lone Star Showdown takes center stage in College Station this Friday. A top-10 shootout looks to take place between the #7 Aggie Men and the #2 Texas Longhorns. Meanwhile, the Aggie women, ranked 16th, look to contend with the fifth-ranked Texas Lady Horns.
