In an electrifying 2025 season, Texas A&M softball reached unprecedented heights by clinching the No. 1 national ranking for the first time in program history.
Under the guidance of second-year head coach Trisha Ford, the Aggies posted a remarkable 45–9 regular-season record and entered the NCAA Tournament as the top overall seed—an honor that reflected their meteoric rise and dominance throughout the season.
This historic feat wasn’t just a product of good fortune; it was the result of a team firing on all cylinders. The Aggies boasted one of the most balanced and dangerous rosters in the nation. Sophomore slugger Mya Perez was a cornerstone of the offense, batting an eye-popping .447 with 14 home runs and 68 RBIs.
Her presence at the plate was matched on the mound by senior ace Emiley Kennedy, who finished the season with a 21–4 record, a 2.68 ERA, and 139 strikeouts.
The Aggies didn’t just win games—they made statements. From sweeping SEC powerhouses to dismantling top-10 opponents, Texas A&M quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with.
Their style was aggressive, their energy unmatched, and their confidence contagious. Fans packed Davis Diamond game after game, rallying behind a team that brought both swagger and substance.
But as history was being made, the NCAA Tournament delivered a stunning twist. Despite earning the top seed and hosting the College Station Regional, Texas A&M was upset by Liberty University in one of the most shocking results in tournament history.
The loss marked the first time a No. 1 overall seed was eliminated during the tournament’s opening weekend.
While the early exit stung, it couldn’t overshadow the groundbreaking season the Aggies produced. Their No. 1 ranking was more than a number—it was a declaration that Texas A&M softball had arrived.
The program’s success in 2025 marked a turning point and a foundation for even greater accomplishments ahead.
Coach Ford acknowledged the heartbreak but emphasized the broader perspective: “We made history this year. That can’t be taken from us. This group changed what Texas A&M softball means on the national stage.”
Indeed, the Aggies may have been stopped short in the postseason, but they left no doubt about their rise.
With a young core, a proven coaching staff, and a taste of what’s possible, Texas A&M softball is poised to turn this historic season into the beginning of a new dynasty.
The journey isn’t over—it’s just getting started.
