The Texas A&M soccer team closed out its 2026 campaign with a commanding 5-1 victory over Ole Miss Sunday afternoon at Ellis Field.
Texas A&M (5-11-1, 1-8-1 SEC) came out firing in the second half, scoring four goals in a seven-minute span, including two just 19 seconds apart.

The Maroon & White were whistled for a handball on the edge of the box, and Ole Miss forward Katie Ramsden found the bottom right corner on the ensuing free kick. Texas A&M responded before halftime when Juliet Haras delivered a free kick into the box, where Finley Lacher flicked it home to bring the Maroon & White level.
The first half was a rough and tumble affair. Ole Miss (7-11-0, 0-10-0 SEC) held a 3-1 advantage in shots on goal, while Texas A&M led in total shots, 5-4. Both teams earned one corner kick.
Churchill wrapped the season with 13 goals to finish the fifth on Texas A&M’s freshman scoring list. She closed out the campaign as the team’s leading scorer with 30 points.
