Coach Ford challenged her team to raise their standards and fight. The Aggie softball team did not let her down tonight and run-ruled a good Texas State team.
Koko Wooley game an MVP night with four hits a stolen base and a few RBIs. She was strong on the defensive side making multiple highlight plays to keep Texas State scoreless. Junior team leader Julia Cottrill really busted the game open with a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth and a few sacrifice flies and base hits ended the night early with an 8-0 Aggie win.
Wooley gave a few thoughts on the Aggies being ranked at this time of the year:
“It’s pretty amazing. It feels good to be able to play on this platform. It’s good for those little kids that look up to us. Just because you’re at schools who didn’t really do good your first year, doesn’t mean you can’t make a change the next year. I feel that the competitiveness is a lot of fun.”
Head Coach Trisha Ford with a short statement on today’s win
“I was excited for the bounce back. I was wondering what tonight was going to look like and I was really impressed and proud of the fight that we had.”
Texas A&M will be back in action when they head to Oxford Mississippi to take on Ole Miss in a three-game series.
