A&M carries a season-best six-game SEC winning streak into the weekend.

Against SEC opponents, the Aggies rank second in batting average (.326), on-base percentage (.429) and OPS (.954). In conference play, Mya Perez leads the league with 25 walks and a .623 on-base percentage, while Kennedy Powell ranks second with 26 hits and six doubles.
