🔼 Stacking Days. Last week’s showing at Texas is proof of continued maturation within the Mississippi State football team. The schedule doesn’t get any easier from here, but with the Bulldogs currently working through their bye week, growth is evident.

🔼 In Range. Mississippi State men’s golf hung tough on a day where low scores were hard to come by Tuesday at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, maintaining its second-place standing heading into Wednesday’s final round. Drew Wilson led the Bulldogs at 1-over, on a day where only 12 golfers in the field managed to shoot even-par or better. He sits in fourth place this morning, with teammate Garrett Endicott joining him in the top-10 at eighth.

🔼 Bless You. Mississippi State women’s golf sits in third place as it heads into the final day of the Blessing Collegiate Invitational on Wednesday. The Bulldogs are 22-over as a team through two rounds, four shots behind BYU for second place. Julia Lopez Ramirez leads the way individually, sitting in seventh place with a two-day total of 1-over par. She enters Wednesday seven shots back of the lead.

🔼 Excited To Defend. Through Mississippi State women’s soccer’s 9-1 start, the Bulldogs have allowed just two goals. In fact, each of the team’s nine wins have come via shutout, including Sunday’s 2-0 triumph over LSU. It is the effort that the Bulldogs have made to form a defensive identity of physicality and grit that have reigned supreme all season long.
