Texas A&M softball wrapped up its 2026 fall exhibition schedule with a perfect 6-0 record, highlighted by a convincing 7-1 victory over rival Texas at Davis Diamond.
The Aggies outscored their six opponents 63-12, providing an encouraging early look at head coach Trisha Ford's roster ahead of the 2027 season. Texas A&M displayed an explosive offense, promising pitching depth and contributions from several newcomers throughout the fall.
Texas A&M saved its biggest matchup for last, defeating the defending national champion Longhorns in front of 2,425 fans, the 10th-largest crowd in Davis Diamond history.
After falling behind 1-0 in the third inning, the Aggies responded with four runs in the fourth, led by two home runs from KK Dement and Paislie
Allen. Texas A&M added three more runs in the sixth, with Allen delivering an RBI double and Kelsey Mathis following with a run-scoring triple.
Freshman pitcher Darby Burnett earned the win after throwing three scoreless innings and allowing just two hits.

The Aggies received strong individual performances throughout the fall. Entering the finale, Ariel Kowalewski was batting .556, while Mya Perez carried a .545 average and a team-leading 11 RBIs. In the circle, transfer Maddy Azua posted a 0.62 ERA through the first five exhibitions, while returning pitcher Sidne Peters recorded 24 strikeouts across 12 innings.
The combination of returning talent and newcomers gives Ford several options as Texas A&M prepares for another competitive SEC schedule.
Texas A&M's fall showcase offers a glimpse into the program
Beyond the exhibition results, Texas A&M's fall matchup against Texas also gave young softball players in College Station for the Texas Bombers Exposure Weekend an opportunity to see the Aggies compete against the defending national champions.
Among those watching was Abigail Zuniga, a 2029 prospect from Northern California, who shared her impressions of the game and the atmosphere around the program.
When asked what stood out most about watching Texas A&M compete, she pointed to the energy on the field and the crowd's support.
"When I was watching Texas A&M compete, it was such a 'wow factor' moment. Watching the players' energy was probably the best thing that I experienced. I also enjoyed watching the community come together and support the softball team."
The Aggies' approach against Texas also left an impression, particularly their intensity against the defending national champions.
"I feel like A&M came out fired up and brought energy. They wanted to have fun but also came out wanting to win. They wanted to beat the two-time national champs."
Her perspective provides another look at the program beyond the exhibition results, particularly as Texas A&M continues developing its roster and building toward the upcoming season. Texas A&M's undefeated fall does not guarantee regular-season success, but the combination of offensive production, pitching depth and a victory over Texas provides plenty of encouragement.
For Ford and the Aggies, the next challenge will be translating those exhibition performances into results when the 2027 season begins.
