The Texas Longhorns women's soccer team achieved a historic milestone on Wednesday, stunning top-seeded Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament. The victory marks the first time in program history that Texas has defeated the conference's No. 1 seed in the postseason tournament.
Forward Ava McDonald, who opened the 2025 season with a start against Northwestern State on August 14, was part of the squad that engineered the upset. The Longhorns' triumph over the Commodores represents a significant breakthrough for a program continuing to build its reputation in one of the nation's toughest collegiate soccer conferences.
The SEC tournament victory adds to a growing list of accomplishments for Texas under the current coaching staff, signaling the program's arrival as a consistent contender in conference championship contention.
