# SEC Morning Report: Texas A&M Tennis Stuns Georgia to Reach Third Straight NCAA Final **Published:** 2026-05-17 — **By:** Stacy Stanfield **Category:** daily-roundup — **Type:** daily-roundup **Source:** https://secscouts.com/news/texas-am-tennis-stuns-georgia-ncaa-final --- ## Lead Story: Aggies Mount Comeback in Athens to Reach Title Match The No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies pulled off one of the more dramatic comebacks of the postseason Saturday night, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to defeat No. 2 Georgia 4-3 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex and book a spot in the NCAA Women's Tennis Championship Final. It marks the third consecutive year the Aggies (27-5, 13-2 SEC) have advanced to the national title match, a remarkable run of sustained excellence at the sport's highest level. The loss ended a banner season for Georgia (22-6, 12-3 SEC), which entered the semifinal as the tournament's top overall seed and held serve through most of the match before the Aggies clawed back on their home courts. Texas A&M's ability to win three straight clinching points in hostile territory against a No. 1-ranked opponent underscores why the Maroon & White have become the SEC's standard-bearer in the sport. The Aggies now turn their attention to the championship final, where a third straight trip carries the weight of unfinished business. ## Quick Hits - **Oregon outlasts USC in 14 innings:** The Ducks pushed across the winning run on a squeeze bunt in the 14th to take the series over USC, per D1Baseball. The two teams traded blows for hours in a contest that felt like a coin flip until the bunt down the line decided it. - **Ole Miss softball survives elimination:** After dropping their opening game in the Lubbock Regional, the Rebels regrouped to knock out Boston University and punch a ticket to the regional final. - **Texas A&M softball rolls UConn:** The No. 15 Aggies stayed alive with a 10-3 win over UConn at Davis Diamond. They'll face Arizona State in the regional final Sunday at 2 p.m. on ABC — the first NCAA softball regional broadcast on the network. - **Georgia takes third at SEC outdoor T&F:** The Bulldog women rode two individual titles to a third-place finish in Auburn, while the men picked up one conference champion and finished fifth. - **Mizzou logs top-10 finishes:** Ames Burton placed seventh in the women's discus with a personal-best 54.79 meters, while Monika Wanjiku (sixth) and Lasse Funck (sixth in the men's 1,500) headlined Missouri's final day at the SEC Outdoor Championships. - **Alabama posts runner-up finishes:** The Crimson Tide closed the SEC Outdoor Championships with multiple second-place performances at Hutsell-Rosen Track. - **Aggies finish strong on the track:** Texas A&M's men placed fourth and the women sixth at the SEC Championships in Auburn. ## Mo Williams Talks Kentucky's Build New Kentucky assistant coach Mo Williams told FanDuel's Run It Back this week that the Wildcats are "absolutely" loaded heading into the 2026-27 season, though he acknowledged the staff still has "a couple more spots to fill." Williams praised the backcourt of Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins, describing them as mirror images with contrasting styles — Diallo as the downhill, physical guard, Wilkins as the long, shifty perimeter option. The frontcourt remains in flux with Malachi Moreno's NBA Draft decision still pending. Williams, an NBA All-Star and 2016 champion with Cleveland, said the recruiting piece is what drew him from his head coaching post at Jackson State to Lexington: "I'm able to go out and get in homes and recruit the best players." ## Portal Watch No new transfer portal activity to report in the last 12 hours. The board stays quiet across the conference this morning. ## Recruiting Buzz No new commitments to report. Watch this space — the late-spring evaluation circuit typically picks up momentum heading into June. ## Games to Watch No SEC games scheduled today, but Sunday's softball slate features a marquee elimination match: **Texas A&M vs. Arizona State**, 2 p.m. ET on ABC, with a Super Regional berth on the line. The Aggies are the first SEC team to play a regional round softball game on the network. --- *Original article: [SEC Morning Report: Texas A&M Tennis Stuns Georgia to Reach Third Straight NCAA Final](https://secscouts.com/news/texas-am-tennis-stuns-georgia-ncaa-final) — SEC Scouts*
