Texas A&M Volleyball Makes History

Texas A&M volleyball is headed to the Final Four for the first time in program history after an unforgettable weekend in the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies opened with a dramatic comeback win over Louisville, rallying from two sets down to force a decisive fifth set and pull out the victory. They followed it up with a stunning upset of top-ranked Nebraska on the road, winning another five-set thriller. The victory snapped Nebraska’s long home winning streak and cemented the Aggies as one of the hottest teams in the country. Texas A&M will now compete in the Final Four in Kansas City with a chance to play for a national title.

LOCAL SPORTS

TAMU

🏀Texas A&M Men’s Basketball Dominates

Aggie men’s basketball put on an offensive showcase Sunday, cruising past Jacksonville with a 112-75 win. Texas A&M shot efficiently from the field and from deep, building a massive lead early and never looking back. Several Aggies reached double figures, and the win marked one of the team’s most complete performances of the season.

🏀Texas A&M Women’s Basketball Falls at Home

The Aggie women struggled Sunday, dropping a 63-45 contest to West Virginia at Reed Arena. Turnovers proved costly, as the Mountaineers pulled away in the middle quarters and controlled the tempo down the stretch. A&M will look to bounce back as conference play approaches.

High School Sports – Weekend Recap

College Station Boys Basketball

College Station had a busy tournament weekend, picking up a solid win over Trinity Leadership while also facing tough competition from Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy and Cedar Hill. The Cougars showed flashes on both ends of the floor as they continue to test themselves against strong opponents.

A&M Consolidated Boys Basketball

A&M Consolidated came up just short in a close 67-63 loss to Richardson Berkner during tournament play. The Tigers battled throughout but were edged late in the game. Consolidated continues to gain experience early in the season with a challenging schedule.
