Earlier in the day SMU (17-4-1) used a goal in each half to defeat McNeese State, 2-0, to advance to the second round game against A&M.
A&M holds the all-time series record between the two teams 11-4-1. The last time the Aggies and Mustangs met was in the second round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament where A&M downed SMU, 4-2 on a hat-trick by All-Big 12 forward Ashlee Pistorius, to advance to the Sweet 16.
The Aggies are 3-2-1 against SMU in NCAA Tournament play, advancing on penalty kicks in 2002 and 2003.
