Texas A&M softball is the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and will host a regional and super regional.
It’s the first time the Aggies have earned the top seed in the NCAAs. They will be joined in their regional by Saint Francis, Marist and Liberty.
After one of the best conference tournament finishes in program history since 2008, the Aggies are in the hunt for their first College World Series berth since 2017 and a championship since 1987. In head coach Trisha Ford's third season, Texas A&M finished the regular season 45-9 and 16-7 in conference play.

Texas A&M set SEC Tournament records in runs (26) and RBIs (25). The 12-run win over Texas is the largest margin of victory in the history of the SEC Tournament. The Aggies’ 14 runs against Texas were the most scored by a team in tournament history, improving on their own record by two after a 12-4 win over South Carolina in the quarterfinals.
A&M was the second seed in the SEC tournament, even though they were the No. 1 nationally ranked team, because Oklahoma had a better record in conference standings.

The Aggies, with the occasional No. 1 ranking for a few weeks, stayed within the top five in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll and ESPN/USA Softball polls throughout the season. For the past few months, the Aggies stayed atop the RPI for top seeding in the postseason tournament.
A&M will play Saint Francis to begin.
