BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies host their annual "Turn It Gold" Match as they help battle against and raise awareness for childhood cancer. The Aggies welcome the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to Ellis Field for the 7 p.m. match.

The Maroon & White's match against Louisiana commences their home slate portion of the spring regular season. The Aggies host Texas State (March 27) and TCU (April 10).
The Aggies opened their spring with a 3-2 loss in overtime at Rice. The Maroon & White scored two goals in a span of 13 seconds to take a 2-0 lead, Macie Kolb notched the first goal and Taylor Ziemer follows shortly with one of her own. Rice answered back twice to tie the game and went on to score with 17 seconds left in the first overtime period. The Aggies played without SEC Freshman of the Year Barbara Olivieri along with key offensive pieces in Kate Colvin and Ali Russell.
Texas A&M will rally behind 2020 SEC Coach of the Year G Guerrieri, 2020 SEC Co-Defender of the Year Karlina Sample and Olivieri they build on their SEC regular-season championship run. The Maroon & White own an 8-3-0 mark, including 7-1-0 in SEC play.
For the first time in history, the NCAA will hold its soccer championship in the spring and vernal matches count as part of the regular season. The Aggies are making a push towards their 26th consecutive NCAA Division I Championship appearance and they are one of only four teams to play in every national tournament since 1995.
The teams will go head-to-head for the first time this Saturday. Louisiana is 10-7-1 overall, returning 21 letterwinners to the pitch, including All-Sun Belt Conference performers Lizzie Mayfield and Gwen Mummert.
Per Texas A&M University and Southeastern Conference rules, face coverings (over the nose and mouth) will be required as a condition of fan entry, egress and movement throughout the stadium, as well as any time guests are not able to physically distance from others in the same household. Staff will be prepared to provide assistance and enforce the face covering requirement. Not complying may result in removal from the venue.
The Texas A&M Soccer's uniforms will feature a special patch that will be worn by all Aggies sport teams for the 2020-21 school year. The Aggies will wear a 2 ¼-inch black patch emblazoned with the word: UNIFIED. Texas A&M's student-athletes collectively determined the patch message and released a statement on why they chose UNIFIED.
