The Razorbacks (3-0-0) jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Parker Goins and Kayla McKeon, who is coming back from a season-ending injury last season, and held on after conceding a penalty kick. The Aggies came into the game at No. 5.
The Razorbacks will travel to Tuscaloosa to face No. 15 Alabama on Sunday (TV: ESPNU, 3 p.m. ET).
SEC teams will play eight conference matches, then finish the fall season with the conference tournament in Orange Beach, Alabama.
So far, 57 Division I women's teams have played this fall -- 48 in the four conferences offering fall competitions -- ACC, Big 12, SEC and Sun Belt -- and nine others playing non-conference schedules.
