Texas A&M women's basketball is off to a promising start under head coach Joni Taylor, opening the 2026-27 season with three straight wins, led by strong performances from Kailyn Gilbert and Emerald Parker.
The Aggies have benefited from Gilbert'simpressive all-around production, as the transfer has quickly become one of the team's most important players. Through three games, Gilbert is averaging 22.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and seven assists, providing Texas A&M with a consistent scoring threat while helping create opportunities for her teammates.
Her numbers also stand out nationally, as Gilbert is the only player averaging at least 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists through the team's first three games.
Parker has provided another reliable
offensive option, averaging 17.3 points while recording consecutive 20-point performances. Her scoring progression has been encouraging, especially as Texas A&M continues to develop its rotation early in the season.
The Aggies have also shown promise on defense. Texas A&M forced 28 turnovers against LSU New Orleans, while Kaniya Boyd contributed five steals. Rebounding has been another strength, with the Aggies collecting 50 and 52 boards in their first two contests. Although the competition will become more challenging, Texas A&M has already shown improvement in several areas that could make a difference once SEC play begins.
The Aggies will look to maintain their unbeaten start when they host Lamar on Monday before facing East Texas A&M and UIW later in the week.
