The Sooners open Saturday, March 15, when they go head-to-head with the University of Texas at 11 a.m.  Sunday's match against the Aggies is set to begin at 1 p.m.

Saturday's match will mark the 20th meeting of the Red River rivals.  Texas currently holds an 18-1 series lead over OU.  The Sooners last met the Longhorns on March 25, 2007 in Norman.  The Sooners fell 6-1.
