COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Texas A&M Aggies host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Stephen F. Austin for a round-robin of exhibition matches Sunday afternoon at Ellis Field.

The Maroon & White play Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 1 p.m. and Stephen F. Austin at 5 p.m. Corpus Christi and SFA will play each other at 3 p.m.

Texas A&M returns 16 letterwinners from the 2018 campaign, including eight of 11 starters (started at least 50% of A&M's matches). The returnees account for 40 of the Aggies' 49 goals from last season. Texas A&M welcomes back All-American Ally Watt along with fellow All-SEC performer Addie McCain and former SEC All-Freshman honorees Ásdís Halldórsdóttir, McCain, Grace Piper and Watt.

Fans will get a nearly full preview of the 2019 squad as 22 of the 25 players who will be on the fall roster are in spring camp. The only players not currently in camp are incoming freshman Kenna Caldwell and transfer Taylor Ziemer, along with rising senior Ally Watt who is playing with the U.S. Soccer Under-23 Women's National Team at the Portland Thorns Spring Invitational.

Texas A&M wrapped up the 2018 season with a 17-5-1 mark. The Maroon & White earned a bid to their 24th consecutive NCAA Championship and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 15th time in school annals.

The Aggies opened the spring slate with a 3-1 victory over the Lamar Cardinals in mid-February. They were edged by TCU, 2-1, in Fort Worth the beginning of March and last week dropped a 3-0 decision to the Houston Dash of the NWSL. The Maroon & White wrap up the spring schedule Wednesday with an 8 p.m. match against Baylor at Ellis Field.
