**KNOXVILLE, TN –** The Tennessee Lady Vols softball team concluded their regular season with a disappointing series loss to Texas A&M, dropping them to fourth place in the SEC standings. After a 13-2 run-rule defeat on Saturday – a game in which ace pitcher Karlyn Pickens was rested – Tennessee (40-13, 15-9 SEC) was overtaken by the Aggies (43-9, 16-7) who claimed the second seed behind Oklahoma.

The Aggies’ social media taunting following the series win added insult to injury, with their official account posting a message suggesting Tennessee had conceded the game. The Lady Vols’ hopes of winning the SEC regular season title dwindled after an opening-day loss to Texas A&M and Oklahoma’s series victory against Florida.

Despite the tough ending, Tennessee enters the SEC Tournament as the number four seed, earning a bye straight to the quarterfinals. With their sights set on a strong tournament showing, the Lady Vols will likely be looking for revenge against Texas A&M in the coming weeks.
