📈 STOCK UP

🔼 New Heights. The history continues for Mississippi State women’s soccer, which finds itself all the way up at No. 7 in this week’s United Soccer Coaches Poll, a program high! The Bulldogs, who also rank No. 6 in the TopDrawerSoccer Poll and are No. 5 in this week’s NCAA RPI Rankings, are 9-1-0 this season while allowing just two goals through 10 matches.

🔼 Island Hoops. The non-conference slate for Mississippi State women’s basketball has been finalized with the announcement of matchups for the 2024 Cayman Islands Classic Women’s Tournament. The Bulldogs will tip off against Utah on Thursday, Nov. 28, with a matchup against South Florida to follow on Friday, Nov. 29.

🔼 Runners-Up. Mississippi State women’s golf finished second at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational on Wednesday, the second year in a row the Bulldogs have claimed the runner-up spot at the tournament. Julia Lopez Ramirez was fantastic on the tournament’s final day, shooting a season-best 6-under to finish second individually. Avery Weed also secured a top-10 finish, and Chiara Horder finished in a tie for 11th.

🔼 Two-Horse Race. Mississippi State men’s golf also secured a second-place finish at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, shooting 6-over as a team on Wednesday to lock down the runner-up position. There were only three under-par rounds as a team during the three-day event, and the Bulldogs claimed one of them on the first day. Drew Wilson earned his third career top-10 finish at sixth overall.
