Texas A&M softball jumps a few spots across the polls after 5-1 start in SEC play

Texas A&M continues to shoot up the rankings after another SEC series victory over a Top 25 team.

The Texas A&M softball team (25-3, 5-1 SEC) is proving to be a complete team after a few questions about the competition before entering SEC play. You can throw that out of the window as the Aggies have gone 5-1, defeating No. 23 South Carolina and No. 20 Mississippi State (USA TODAY/NFCA Coaches) over the last two weeks.

They outscored their SEC opponents 29-13 and hit six home runs across those six games. Even with her rough outing in game three against Mississippi State, Emiley Kennedy has shown herself to be one of the better pitchers in the country. While it is still early in the season, A&M looks like a team that can enter the Top 10 if they can keep up this pace.

All major softball polls have moved the Aggies into the Top 15 following back-to-back SEC series wins over Top 25 teams.
