📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Eye On The Prize. Coming off a regular season in which they piled up the second-most SEC wins in school history, the sixth-ranked Mississippi State men’s tennis team has their eyes on another piece of history this weekend.

The second-seeded Bulldogs are set to hit the courts in Bryan-College Station, Texas later today in the quarterfinals of the 2026 SEC Tournament. Mississippi State will square off against seventh-seeded South Carolina at 2 pm today.

🔼 On The Prowl. Mississippi State women’s golf will begin their postseason journey this morning as they compete against a loaded field in the SEC Championship. The stroke play portion of the tournament will conclude on Sunday, April 19, and will see the top eight teams begin the match play portion on Monday.

The Bulldogs are on the hunt for the program's second SEC Championship after winning the first in 2024.

🔼 Opportunity Knocks. For the third weekend in a row, the 14th-ranked Mississippi State Softball squad will meet a top-15 opponent as the Bulldogs travel to No. 12 Texas A&M, beginning at three-game series later tonight.

MSU has already played three top-10 series this year, and all six SEC opponents so far have been ranked at the time of their meeting.

It's a rare trip to Davis Diamond for the Bulldogs who have played just three conference series in Bryan-College Station in program history. The Bulldogs have three road wins against the Aggies since they joined the conference with one of those coming in the 2019 SEC Tournament that was hosted by Texas A&M.
