COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M soccer will play a road match in Houston against the Rice Owls on Sunday at 3 p.m. in lieu of their previously-scheduled home match against Abilene Christian.
The Abilene Christian match was canceled as the Wildcats needed to reschedule conference matches postponed during February’s hard freeze. The Aggies were able to find a suitable replacement on the schedule when Rice’s previously scheduled match against SMU was postponed due to COVID-related issues in the Mustangs’ program.
Rice’s Holloway Field is the site of Sunday’s match. Seating will be very limited, including just Rice season-ticket holders, player families and a limited number of current Rice students. Any ticketing questions should be directed to the Owls’ ticket office by calling 713-348-6957 or emailing tickets@rice.edu.
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.
Texas A&M will rally behind 2020 SEC Coach of the Year G Guerrieri, 2020 SEC Co-Defender of the Year Karlina Sample and 2020 SEC Freshman of the Year Barbara Olivieri they build on their SEC regular-season championship run. The Maroon & White 8-2-0, including 7-1-0 in SEC play.
Texas A&M’s next home match is Saturday, March 20 when they host the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns at Ellis Field.
