BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M soccer team fell short against the No. 17 South Carolina Gamecocks, 1-0, in Thursday night's match at Ellis Field.

South Carolina broke the ice scoring in the 43rd minute. A&M had multiple opportunities to score in the second half.

The Aggies move to 7-6-3 on the season, including 3-3-2 in the SEC. South Carolina improved to 10-1-5 overall and 4-0-4 in league play.
Kenna Caldwell made five saves in goal for Texas A&M.
