The Aggies enter action alone in second place in the SEC standings with 21 points (7-1-0). They trail first-place South Carolina (24 pts – 8-0-0) with two matches left on the league slate.
A win Sunday would give the Aggies a nine-game win streak, matching the sixth longest in school annals. The most recent nine-game win streak came in 2012.

Texas A&M won 11 consecutive games in 2001 and strung together 10-game win streaks in 1995, 2006 and 2007.
The Aggies current seven-match conference win streak is one shy of their SEC best of eight set in 2013. Texas A&M also won eight consecutive matches as a member of the Big 12 in 2010. The school record for a conference win streak is 14 games in Big 12 action between Oct. 4, 1996 and Oct. 10, 1997.
