Texas A&M returns six starters from the 2019 team that posted an overall record of 14-5-3 and 7-2-1 in the SEC. The Aggies advanced to the second round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.

Senior Addie McCain leads TAMU in goals (3) and points (6). Aggie goalkeeper Shantel Hutton, now in her sophomore season, has started 19 matches in goal for Texas A&M.
G Guerrieri is the only coach in Texas A&M's 28 season history.
