Texas A&M met Eastern Illinois in Little Rock, AR (in conjuction with the Little Rock Tournament) this weekend to have a repeat game from last year. Unlike last year however the weather was clear…last year the battle was rainy and muddy as the whole state was being rained upon. The game was hard to tell as EIU only beat A&M by 22 points. I watched the game from the sidelines and cheered silently for A&M. They played well but were defeated.
This year would be different though! The game was tough as EIU had great tackling and great communication, but A&M stuck to it and blasted them with rolling mauls…which they scored off of twice. A&M recovered kicks expertly and was able to capitalize and gain field possession through their speedy back triangle. Spectators said that A&M had spectacular lineouts and fooled EIU over and over again with their crisp forward and back plays.
Great job ladies!!!
Some of the Valkyries will see you next weekend at the A&M Alumni Match and the Round Robin with HARC/Rice.
