Aggies Fall to No. 5 Florida, 3-2
Mar 18, 2022 | Softball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team (16-9, 0-4 SEC) was defeated, 3-2, after falling victim to a seventh-inning surge by No. 5 Florida (24-2, 3-1 SEC) on Friday night at Davis Diamond.
The Aggies' defense was solid throughout the contest, piecing together four double plays. The Maroon & White did not surrender a run until the sixth inning, before the Gators used a two-RBI single in the top of the seventh to take the lead and eventually the game.

Overall thoughts on the game…
"That right there is why Florida is the number five team in the country. they make really good adjustments in their at-bats. As the game moves on, they just get better. Unfortunately, we've been on the receiving end of that too many times, but we put ourselves in a position to win the game."
On what the team did well…
"What I don't want is our kids to do is feel like they're snake bit. I reminded them of all the things they did really well. Our defensive play was solid, despite the couple of errors we had. To turn four double plays in the game is pretty phenomenal in softball. I told our kids to make sure they keep perspective. I get it, right now we all feel bad about this loss. But in the morning, you better wake up and be ready to go to war."
