BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies and Baylor Bears played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in front of the second-largest crowd in Ellis Field history.

Texas A&M remains unbeaten against Baylor since 2001, with a 12-0-3 advantage in the series over the span.
Baylor was the first on the board with a goal scored by Ashley Merrill in the 16th minute. But the Aggies tied it up in the 75th minute with a penalty kick scored by Maile Hayes.
The Maroon & White were very aggressive on the offensive end dominating on the stat sheet. Leading in shots (22-5), shots-on-goal (6-2), and corner kicks (6-5).
