Your Fightin' Texas Aggies return to action on Sunday at 6:00pm in a big matchup! Perenial California power Santa Clara is in town for a top ten matchup. It's #8 vs #8 as both Athletic Departments claim the #8 slot based off of different polls.

Santa Clara is a member of the West Coast Conference and are already the 4th WCC team that the Aggies have faced this year. Santa Clara is 4-0 and started the season with a 2-1 win at San Jose State. The other wins have come at home against California (4-1), North Texas (1-0), and Kansas State (2-0).

Last season, the Broncos finished the season 15-7-1 and won the WCC before advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament where they were dispatched by South Carolina (0-1).

Santa Clara is coached by Jerry Smith, AKA Brandi Chastain's Husband. Coach Smith is ranked #3 among active D1 Women's coaches in all-time wins. Coach G is #4. Smith has had the Broncos in the NCAA Tournament for 27 of the last 29 years (failing to advance in 2008 & 2014) including a National Championship season in 2001.

Is it going to rain though?

Good luck ladies!

I'll let you know tomorrow evening.

Big challenge. Need two excellent halves. Good luck ladies!

Tonight's promotions include dollar dogs & free student admission!

Keys to this game will be maximum effort from all players and smart decisions from the defense. We've been out-hustled by teams this year, can't let that happen today.

BTHO Santa Clara!

Wish I could be at the game tonight.

Lightning delay

This delay could be a while...

At Ellis. Big rain went through. No announcements being made. 6:05

Hope everyone doesn't leave. We need a big crowd for this game.

No communication at all inside stadium

Update: no update

30 minute delay just got reset, plus 20 minutes of warm-up. So AT LEAST 50 minutes until kick

Still under a "lightning" delay at 6:20 according to announcer. At least 30 min before starting a 20 min clock. Maybe 7:30 start?

No tv yet ?

SECN+

A&M playing well in the first 15 minutes. Could have taken the lead from a couple dangerous moments in the box.

Dallas error message!

Santa Clara bangs it off the crossbar.

Pretty even match so far. Both teams have controlled segments of the half. A&M just unable to piece it all together in the final third.

McCain is playing very well.

And she follows up that comment with a huge tackle in the box. Probably saved a goal.

Good passing and good effort in the first half, pretty even match so far.

Thanks for the updates! Can't for some reason get tv !
