BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M looks to build off the momentum of Thursday's 4-1 win at LSU when the Aggies host the Ole Miss Rebels for a Sunday matinee. First kick at Ellis Field is slated for 3 p.m.
With prime offensive weapons Barbara Olivieri, Maile Hayes and Mia Pante all healthy and playing together for the first time in nine matches on Thursday, the Aggies exploded for their highest conference scoring tally since September 26, 2019.
Although unranked in the polls, Ole Miss is slotted No. 5 in the latest NCAA-released Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released last Monday.
The match airs on SEC Network+ with David Ellis and Jeff Given on the call. Fans may listen to the match worldwide on the 12th Man Mobile app and on 12thMan.com/live with Casey Atnip delivering the commentary.
