KNOXVILLE – A late Aggie surge came up short in the Texas A&M soccer team's 1-0 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers Friday evening at Regal Stadium.
After the Volunteers scored the match's lone goal in the 71st minute, the Maroon & White were unable to convert on a handful of scoring chances in the waning moments.
Holly Storer had three opportunities in the final 20 minutes, with the most danger ending up in a hit crossbar from 12 yards in the 76th minute. Mia Scranton also came up three inches north of the crossbar from seven yards.
Prior to the Vols' goal, Kennedy Clark had an opportunity to put the Maroon & White ahead in the 55th minute. Trinity Buchanan stole a pass in the attacking third and sent a through ball to Clark. Clark uncorked a shot from 16 yards past a diving keeper, but the shot was a hair's breadth wide of the left post.
Texas A&M owned statistical margins across the board, including 10-8 in shots, 3-2 in shots-on-goal and 7-4 in corner kicks.
The match was played on fairly even terms in the first half. Tennessee owned the advantage in shots (3-2) and corner kicks (3-0), but the Maroon & White held the 2-0 edge in shots-on-goal.

Mattern used her first touch to drive a right-footer between the Aggie keeper and the right post. UT 1, A&M 0

On the match...
"I'm disappointed for the players. I'm absolutely proud of them for the effort they put in. You would think that we would get more out of it. It's the second game in a row where we outplay, outshoot and have more chances than a top-10 team in a week and they finish their one chance and we don't finish any of ours. We have to keep working hard and clean up some things on our attack because we've got the Longhorns coming to town Thursday."
