The Aggies left seven runners on base and surrendered four walks to the Cougars in the loss.
Senior center fielder Emily Albus led all players with three infield hits. Senior catcher Nicole Morgan drove in Albus in the top of the third inning for A&M’s only run.
Katie Marks, the Aggies sophomore starting pitcher, took the loss and saw her record go to 12-2. Marks went all six innings on the mound for head coach Jo Evans.
