The 2010 Texas A&M Aggies women's soccer team represented Texas A&M University in the 2010 NCAA Division I women's college soccer season. The team belongs to the Big 12 Conference and played its home games at Aggie Soccer Stadium. The Aggies were led by G. Guerrieri, who has coached the team since the program's inception in 1993 (18 years).
The Aggies finished the season 15–5–3 and won the Big 12 regular season championship with an 8–1–1 record. They advanced to the 2nd Round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament before falling to Minnesota 2–0 in icy conditions in Minneapolis, MN.
The 2010 team had 26 roster players, with 14 scholarships to utilize between them.
Texas A&M opened a highly anticipated season by hosting annual rival North Carolina in College Station. Many thought the Aggies were heavy favorites considering their talented and experienced roster, while the Tar Heels (although ranked #1 coming off their national title) were completely rebuilding with several freshmen starting their first game on the road. Instead, the Tar Heels came out on fire, attacking the Aggies early and often with precision passing and scoring a quick goal in the 3rd minute by Meghan Klingenberg from 30 yards out. Although A&M temporarily righted the ship, UNC added a second goal in the 20th minute off a header by Ali Hawkins on a corner kick. The Aggies' best chance to score came in the 28th minute when Alyssa Mautz struck the crossbar with a shot that then bounced off the Tar Heel goalkeeper out-of-bounds. North Carolina added a 3rd goal for the 3–0 win in the 60th minute, but by that point in the match they had complete control and were basically on cruise control. The loss for the Aggies was only the third season-opening loss and was a crushing blow both for the team and the fans (2,822 in attendance), and it signaled that this team might not be quite at the lofty level that most thought it would be before the season.
