BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M soccer team added firepower to the roster with the addition of Shae O’Rourke, a transfer who played two seasons at South Carolina, head coach G Guerrieri announced.

“Shae is a proven goal scorer at the national level,” Guerrieri said. “She has already shown how athletic she is by scoring on and dominating other SEC defenses the past two years at South Carolina. The 12th Man is going to enjoy watching her play in Aggieland.”

During her two seasons with the Gamecocks, O’Rourke earned 45 caps, including 25 starts. She logged 28 points with 11 goals and six assists.

“Shae is an intelligent striker with the separation speed to break games open,” Guerrieri said. “She possesses the strength to hold off defenders and bring teammates into the attack. Our players are all excited to have Shae in our lineup, especially knowing that she has two years of eligibility remaining.”

As a freshman in 2022, O’Rourke played in all 24 matches, including four starts. She ranked second on the Gamecocks in points (15) and goals (6), adding three assists. She earned SEC All-Freshman Team recognition, along with being tapped at No. 76 on the TopDrawerSoccer.com list of Top 100 Freshmen.
