🔼 Home Sweet Home. The Mississippi State men’s golf team used a late charge to take home the Mossy Oak Collegiate Championship on Tuesday, rallying from nine shots back to share the title with Ole Miss.

This is State's second team victory of the 2025-26 campaign and the first of the spring season. This is also MSU's first time claiming the Mossy Oak Collegiate and State's first home event win since the 2014 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship.

Dain Richie earned his first collegiate victory in his final regular-season tournament in the Maroon and White, tying for first at 8-under overall. He is State's first individual champion since Hunter Logan won the Visit Knoxville Collegiate in 2023.

🔼 Starting Fast. The No. 17 Mississippi State Baseball squad wasted little time asserting control Tuesday night, riding a pair of big early innings to an 11-1 run-rule victory over Samford in seven innings.

Mississippi State scored twice in the first, erupted for five runs in the second and added four more in the fifth to cruise behind a balanced offensive attack and a steady showing on the mound.

🔼 Welcome Home. One of the most decorated Mississippi high school athletes of all time is coming home.

This week, Hail State announced the addition of rising sophomore Macie Phifer for the 2026-27 season.

Phifer, a 6-1 guard from New Albany, Mississippi, began her college career this past season at Middle Tennessee State. She started all 33 games for the Blue Raiders and averaged 11.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. She earned All-Conference USA Honorable Mention and Freshman team honors.

🔼 Tourney Time. The postseason has arrived for the Mississippi State women’s tennis squad as they hit the courts this evening in Norman, Okla. in the first round of the SEC Tournament.

The 13th seeded Bulldogs are set to face the 12th seeded Alabama Crimson Tide tonight at 6 p.m. CT at the Headington Family Tennis Center. The winner of their first round matchup will advance to take on the 5th seeded Texas Longhorns on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT.
