Texas A&M faces LSU in Baton Rogue tonight at 6PM. Both teams are looking to get right after a disappointing string of results.
LSU has a strong 8-3 record, however those 3 losses have come in consecutive matches. After breezing through non-conference play and rising as high as a #5 national ranking, they have dropped to 1-3 in conference. Those losses have come to Ole Miss (0-2), Georgia (1-2 OT), and Alabama (0-1). Notable non-conference wins came over #15 UCF (2-1), #19 UCF (2-0), and #21 Arizona State (5-2).
In total, LSU has outscored opponents 29-9. Senior Tinaya Alexander leads scoring with 7 goals and 3 assists on the season. Her 45 shots are also more than double anyone else on the team. Alexander is in her 5th year at LSU and is one of 16 seniors on the 32 man roster.
Junior Mollee Swift returned this year as LSU's goalkeeper. She's allowed 8 goals on the season while making 39 saves.
The Aggies went 2-0 against LSU last year with a 2-1 win at home and a 1-0 win in Orange Beach. Tinaya Alexander was LSU's lone goal scorer in those games and Mollee Swift totalled 7 saves in each of the matches.
Overall, A&M absolutely dominates this series with a 11-0-1 all-time record against LSU. The lone tie came in NCAA play in 2009 and A&M advanced on PKs. A&M has outscored LSU 25-4 all-time.
Let's hope the Aggies can continue to series trend against a formidable and experienced group of Tigers.
