COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies put forth a relentless effort but were unable to erase an early deficit in a 1-0 loss to the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles in the season opener Friday evening at Ellis Field.The Seminoles scored 1:32 into the contest when Deyna Castellanos took a pass from Emma Koivisto with her back to the goal at 15 yards. Castellanos poked a ball over a defender then took three steps to chase it down, unleashing a shot from 12 yards to the left of the Aggies keeper.Texas A&M nearly knotted the game heading into halftime. Cienna Arrieta slotted a ball through Seminoles to find Brittany Crabtree running into the penalty box on the right side. Crabtree received the pass and sent in a low driving ball that was just a whisper wide on the left in the 42nd minute.Florida State went into the intermission with a 6-4 edge in shots, but shots-on-goal and corner kicks were both even at 1-1.The Aggies kept the pressure on in the second half, outshooting the Seminoles 7-4 and owning a 5-3 edge in corner kicks. Cassie Miller had to make a pair of saves on Haley Pounds shots in the 79th minute to keep the sheet clean.Ashlynn Harryman nearly shocked Florida State in the 87th when she uncorked a shot from the defensive side of the center circle. Her booming shot took a bounce 10 yards out and was headed just south of the crossbar when Miller scurried back to punch it over the goal to safety.For the match, Texas A&M owned advantages in shots (11-10), shots-on-goal (4-2) and corner kicks (6-4).Texas A&M returns to action Sunday when they host the Rice Owls in a 6 pm contest at Ellis Field.

Olympic triple jump champion Christian Taylor is looking to break Jonathan Edwards 21-year world record when he takes part in this weekends Anniversary Games.The Diamond League event gives Taylor the chance to compete again in the Olympic Stadium where he won his gold medal at London 2012 thanks to a jump of 17.81 metres. He holds the stadium record but has turned his sights to breaking Edwards unsurpassed long-standing leap of 18.29m which he set at the 1995 World Championships.Taylors personal best is 18.21m and hopes a combination of the crowd and the familiar surroundings will propel him to set a new world record.Im always talking about the energy and the crowd and how much that fuels me, Taylor said. Then you get the clapping and support behind you, it feels like an extra boost. Fingers crossed if it stays dry I think its possible [to break the record].Every time I touch the track, thats my mind set -- Im going for that world record. Why not do it on Mr Edwards soil?I enjoy putting on a show and this is why I always leave it to the sixth jump. Last year [at Beijing World Championships] I would have loved to have taken it but maybe now his [Edwards] heart is pumping a little bit. He sees whats there, the potential.The 20-year anniversary wouldve been a nice statement but theres also [World Championships] London 2017.dddddddddddd Im not saying I am going to wait another year but if it happens, it happens. I am going after it every single time.After this weekends event in London, Taylors attention will shift to the Rio Games. He heads there with a target on his back as the reigning champion and admits that brings with it added pressure. Pressure has been something he has had to battle this year and the vigorous trials to book his spot in Team USA did throw him a little.It was something I maybe underestimated. I think the nerves maybe got to me. I was a little bit out of my element, Taylor admitted. I was working on a documentary called Road to Rio, and there was a chance I might not make it. So little things like that were playing in my head but God was good and I made the team. Now I am back in my element.It is a frame of mind that he hopes will guide him to another gold medal and a world record.Now [that Im in the squad] I feel I can get back to being myself and the fun mentality. Thats what I love. I play in the sand, thats my job.Thats why I smile and thats why Im constantly thanking everyone whos helped me realise my dream. ' ' '
