BELLEAIR, Fla. – The No. 4 Texas A&M Women’s Golf Team finished stroke play with the seven seed Sunday at the Pelican Golf Club to face No. 5 Texas in the quarterfinals of the SEC Championship on Monday morning.
 
“Scoreboard is zero-zero,” Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell said. “It is really hard getting into match play in this tournament. Just look at the teams that didn’t make it. We have to be a little cleaner tomorrow to beat a good Texas team, but I like my team’s chances. What we just went through was a first for a lot of our young ladies. The hard part isn’t over, but this will make us better.”
 

Texas A&M turned in a 54-hole score of 3-over 843 to secure its place in the match play field by one shot over No. 14 Missouri (+4). The Aggies tied for seventh with No. 14 Vanderbilt but had a lower cumulative drop score over the three rounds to earn the seven seed.
 

The Maroon & White went into the clubhouse after giving up three strokes on No. 18 while Missouri was 1-over with all of its golfers having the final two holes left. The Tigers got through No. 17 unscathed but 18, which played as the hardest hole on the day, proved too much for Mizzou. The Tigers had a 15-foot putt to force a three-way playoff that did not fall and sent Texas A&M and Vanderbilt smoothly into match play.
 
The Aggies were led by sophomore Vanessa Borovilos who earned a share of the individual runner-up honors, shooting 6-under 204 for the week. Florida’s Paula Francisco won the individual crown at 8-under 202.
 
Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio wrapped up her week in stroke play tied for 25th. The junior shot 2-over 212 thru 54 holes. The Spaniard is 3-0 all-time in match play at SECs, having won all of her outings during the 2024 SEC Championship match run.
 
Natalie Yen tied for 38th at 5-over 215 and Brynn Kort took home a piece of 44th with a 7-over 217. Kort shot the best round of the day for the Aggies, posting a 1-under 69. Sky Sudberry rounded out the lineup with an 8-over 218 and tied for 52nd.
 

Texas A&M tees off against the Longhorns at 7:50 a.m. from No. 1 to begin the quarterfinals. The two programs last met in the quarterfinals of the 2023 NCAA Championships where the Aggies won, 3-1. The Maroon & White would take on the winner of the Oklahoma and Tennessee matchup at approximately 11:30 a.m. Monday after the quarters.
