A&M enters the 2021-22 campaign following one of the more accomplished seasons in program history, headlined by the program’s first appearance in the SEC Championship Match, a berth in the NCAA Round of 16 and a pair of All-America honors for Tatiana Makarova and Jayci Goldsmith. The Aggie roster is headlined by Makarova and Goldsmith, as well as returners Katya Townsend, Renee McBryde, Isa Di Laura and Elise Robbins.
