Texas A&M Softball Soars to No. 1 in Softball America Top 25 Poll for First Time in Program History
For the first time in program history, the Texas A&M Aggies softball team has claimed the No. 1 spot in the Softball America Top 25 Poll, marking a monumental moment for the team, the university, and Aggie Nation.
The Aggies’ rise to the top comes after a dominant stretch of performances that have left little doubt about their championship credentials. With a combination of electric pitching, clutch hitting, and airtight defense, Texas A&M has steamrolled its recent competition, collecting wins over multiple ranked opponents along the way. The team’s recent hot streak includes a sweep of former top-10 squads and decisive victories over SEC rivals, proving they’re not just winning—they’re commanding the game.
Head coach Trisha Ford, in just her second season at the helm, has transformed the culture and competitive edge of the program. Her leadership has energized the team, bringing a level of intensity and belief that’s clearly translating into results on the field.
“This team has grit, and they trust each other,” Ford said after the team’s latest series sweep. “We’re not playing for the rankings, we’re playing to be the best version of ourselves every time we step on the field. But being ranked No. 1 is a special moment, and it speaks to the work these women have put in.”
The Aggies are being led by a breakout season from ace pitcher Emiley Kennedy, whose ERA ranks among the nation’s best, and a power-packed lineup that features sluggers like Rylen Wiggins and Julia Cottrill. Their chemistry is palpable, and the team has become known for its ability to stay poised under pressure.
With the postseason approaching, the Aggies have made it clear: they’re not just chasing titles—they’re setting the standard. As College Station celebrates this historic milestone, the rest of the country is now watching—and chasing—Texas A&M.
