The Texas A&M soccer squad wraps up its season‑opening road stretch on Wednesday night, heading to San Marcos to meet Texas State at 7:30 p.m. The contest will be streamed live on the Pac‑12 YouTube channel and is open to the public at no charge.
The Aggies enter the match fresh off a 2‑1 victory at Rice and a narrow 2‑1 defeat at Baylor, looking to rebound after a setback that ended a perfect start. Their all‑time edge over the Bobcats stands at 4‑0‑1, with a 22‑3 goal differential, and they hope to add another win to that record.
Between the posts, senior goalkeeper Makenna August will be back after missing the Baylor loss, while defender Ava Sexton anchors a back line that has seen nine freshmen log 892 of the team’s 1,980 minutes this early season. The influx of newcomers has already begun to shape the squad’s dynamics.
Texas State, meanwhile, arrives with momentum from a 1‑0 lead secured by Helen Alomenu’s 28th‑minute free kick in their last meeting, a game they ultimately lost 1‑0 despite a 12‑0 second‑half shot advantage for the Aggies. Victoria Meza has already found the net twice this campaign, positioning her as a primary threat.
What to Watch
Key storylines revolve around the debut of the two teams in San Marcos, the performance of August and Sexton, and whether the freshmen can continue to influence the outcome. With both sides eager to prove themselves early, the match promises a tightly contested affair.
