DEC 13 AGGIES BASEBALL The Texas A&M Aggies baseball team announced its 2024 non-conference schedule, and it kicks off with a three-game home series beginning Feb. 16 against McNeese. The first road trip for the Aggies takes them to Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas - the home of the World Champion Texas Rangers - to play Arizona State and USC March 1-3. The Aggies also host Rhode Island from March 8-10 for the final non-conference series of the season.

Blue Bell Park will host midweek games against Incarnate Word (Feb. 20), Lamar (Feb. 27), Texas Southern (March 6), Sam Houston (March 12), Prairie View A&M (March 20), Houston Christian (March 26), UTSA (April 9), Air Force (April 16), Houston (April 23), Tarleton State (April 30) and Rice (May 7).

The Aggies play Texas on March 5 and Texas State on April 2 in non-conference road games.

The SEC tournament will take place at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, AL.

DEC 3 AGGIES WOMEN'S HOOPS It's a reunion between former Big 12 rivals as the 6-1 Aggies women's basketball team prepares to face the 3-3 Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT at Reed Arena.

A&M can make it five consecutive victories with a win over the Jayhawks, and it could be another lopsided victory for the Aggies. During its current four-game streak Texas A&M has enjoyed an average margin of victory of 34 points. 

Former Aggies coach Gary Blair will be honored at halftime for his enshrinement into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Blair won a record 444 games at A&M and won the 2011 National Championship. His 853 total wins rank no. 14 all-time, and the court inside Reed Arena is named in his honor.

DEC 1 AGGIES MEN'S HOOPS The Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team was ranked No. 14 nationally entering the ACC/SEC Challenge Clash. Expect that ranking to nosedive. Coach Buzz Williams and his crew dropped a 59-47 tilt to the Virginia Cavaliers on Wednesday at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Aggies trailed by just one at the break with a 27-27 deficit, but the low-scoring game got away from A&M late as the Cavaliers started the second half on a 7-0 scoring run to separate themselves. The Aggies got no closer than five points midway through the final frame.

Texas A&M finish November with a 6-2 mark while Virginia stayed undefeated at home and 6-1 on the season. 

NOV 8 AGGIES WOMEN'S HOOPS The Texas A&M women's basketball team opens their new season at home on Thursday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi inside Reed Arena in College Station.

They'll hope to build on last season under second-year head coach Joni Taylor when the team ended the season by becoming the first No. 13 seed to advance to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. Over 70 percent of the offensive production returns to the roster, along with a slew of elite off-season transfers. Those include Aicha Coulibaly and Endyia Rogers, both of whom have multiple all-conference selections.

Tip-off is at 6 p.m. CT and the game will be streamed on SECN+ with Will Johnson and Tap Bentz on the call. The radio call will be broadcast on The Zone (1150 AM/93.7 FM) locally. 

NOV 4 AGGIES VOLLEYBALL The Aggies volleyball team broke a three-match losing streak with a sweep of Alabama Friday at Reed Arena 3-0 (25-20, 25-15, 25-18).

A&M (15-7, 7-5 SEC) jumped out to a quick five-point lead early in the first set, helped along by Bianna Muoneke's three kills. The Aggies extended that lead through the nation's leader in blocks, Ifenna Cos-Okpalla, who registered four stuffs that forced Alabama to call a timeout at 18-11. A&M eventually won the first set 25-20. 

The second followed the same storyline with the Aggies jumping out to a quick 10-5 lead and closed out the set at 25-15.

The third set was closer between the two teams, and A&M led at the media timeout, 15-14. Alabama scored two points quickly after the stoppage of play, but the Aggies were persistent in claiming the third set at 25-18, and the match at 3-0.

NOV 1 AGGIES WOMEN'S SOCCER Texas A&M sophomore Sydney Becerra kicked the Aggies to a 1-0 win over the SEC's top defense to advance to the SEC Tournament Semifinal. A&M's victory over the No. 13 South Carolina Gamecocks in Escambia County Stadium in Pensacola, Florida improved its record to 9-6-4 on the season.

The Aggies move to 15-7-0 all-time in SEC Tourney play, and their .681 winning percentage ranks No. 2 among the league's 14 teams.

Texas A&M will meet the Georgia Bulldogs on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for a chance to play in Sunday's championship game.

OCT 31 AGGIES WOMENS GOLF The Texas A&M Aggies women's golf team continues its season with play in Atlanta this week. On Monday, the Aggies finished fourth in the stroke-play round of the East Lake Cup. The team now matches up against last year's NCAA champion, Stanford, in the semifinals on Tuesday.

"We have to go win two matches if we want to take home the championship," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "This is a great opportunity for us because it will prepare us for what it's like at nationals. We had two bad holes today that if you take those away, would have put us right in the mix. The conditions tomorrow won't be easy, so the toughest team is going to win. I am excited to see how we respond."

Jennie Park shot a 1-under 71 and tied for second at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Stanford's Sadie Englemann had the low score of 3-under 69 to finish first.

Defending stroke-play champion Blanca Fernandez Garcia-Poggio tied for 11th with a 3-over 75, while Zoe Slaughter shot a 5-over 77, finishing 17th. Lana Calibuso-Kwee tied for 18th with a 6-over 78, while Mia Nixon finished with a share of 19th place after shooting a 7-over 79.

Stanford (E) earned the No. 1 seed heading into match play, while Wake Forest (+3) took the No. 2 seed. USC (+4) locked in the No. 3 seed. 

If the Aggies win Tuesday they'll play the winner of the USC-Wake Forest match for the East Lake Cup on Wednesday. With a loss, A&M will take part in a consolation match.
