College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team has achieved a historic milestone by securing the top seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, marking the first time in program history that they have attained this prestigious position. The Aggies will host a regional tournament at Davis Diamond from May 16 to May 18, where they will compete for a spot in the Women’s College World Series.
This year’s regional will feature a competitive field, including Liberty (47-12), Marist (47-7-1), and Saint Francis (26-24), who will join Texas A&M in the effort to advance to the next round. The Aggies will face Saint Francis in their opening game on Friday at 2:30 p.m. Liberty has been designated as the No. 2 seed, while Marist will enter as the No. 3 seed in the Bryan-College Station Regional.
Head coach Trisha Ford expressed pride in achieving the top seed and acknowledged the team’s progress since her arrival in 2022. This season, Texas A&M has secured a remarkable overall record of 45-9, its highest number of wins since 2017, demonstrating their strong performance throughout the year.
Throughout the 2025 season, the Aggies showed dominance in non-conference play, finishing with an impressive 30-2 record. Their success has placed them at the top of several national polls, along with holding the best Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) in the country. Texas A&M also shared the Southeastern Conference title with Oklahoma; however, inclement weather forced the cancellation of the tournament title game, preventing the teams from deciding an outright champion.
The Aggies are among 14 teams from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) that earned a spot in the NCAA tournament field, with eight of those schools hosting regional competitions. This tournament bid marks the 35th overall for Texas A&M, and it is significant for the program as they look to build on their past experiences. Since 2006, the Aggies have earned eight national seeds, with their previous highest ranking being No. 4 in 2007. Last season, Texas A&M came close to reaching the Women’s College World Series, falling in the Austin Super Regional just one win short.
Historically, Texas A&M has a proud softball legacy, having won NCAA titles in 1983 and 1987. With nearly 40 years since their last title, the Aggies are eager to return to championship glory and convince fans of their potential to do so. Ford emphasized the balanced and confident roster, built on resilience from previously missed opportunities, reinforcing the team’s drive to succeed in the upcoming matches.
The NCAA regional rounds will take place in a double-elimination format, allowing teams to compete for advancement. Should the Aggies move forward, the super regionals are scheduled for May 22-25, leading into the Women’s College World Series, which will be held from May 29 to June 6 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
As the tournament approaches, the excitement builds for the Texas A&M softball team and its supporters. With their recent accomplishments, aspirations of a championship journey hang in the balance as they prepare to showcase their skills on a national stage.
