What else did we throw into today’s Bulldog Brew?
⛳️ Bulldogs sit in a tie for third through day one
🥎 Wesley named SEC Pitcher of the Week
🐶 And much, much more!
🎥 ALL-ACCESS
All-Access: London Tour. Spring break was unforgettable for our bulldog soccer club as they traveled to London to play a few games in the sport's homeland. Hear about the highlights as Macey Hodges, Maddie Anderson, and James Armstrong tell us about their trip across the pond.
🎥 ALL-ACCESS
All-Access: Howell Trophy. The Howell Trophy is an award given annually to the best men's college basketball player in the state of Mississippi by the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, and this year’s winner was none other than Josh Hubbard.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Twice As Nice. For the second time this season, Bulldog softball’s Aspen Wesley was named the SEC Pitcher of the Week. She is the first Bulldog pitcher to earn multiple SEC Pitcher of the Week awards in one season and marks the first time State has won multiple pitcher honors in one season since 2014. In the series against Georgia, Wesley allowed just one run in 14.0 innings, and struck out eight, coming one shy of her career high, in both games.
🔼 The Low Down. Through round one at the NCAA Bermuda Run Regional, Mississippi State women’s golf sits in a tie for third place at 5-under par. The Bulldogs finished the day at 283, the lowest team score in a single round this season and are only six strokes off the lead. Surapa Janthamunee put together one of the best rounds of her sophomore year in the opening round, as she ended the day tied for fourth place. She finished with a stellar 69 (-3), her second round in the 60s this season and fourth of her career.
🔼 Reliving The Moment. Bulldog men’s tennis is headed to the Round of 16 for the second straight season and the fifth time in the last six seasons after earning wins over Alabama State and Middle Tennessee on its home court. Relive all the action from the weekend with a highlight reel that includes lots of celebrating, and even more fist-pumping.
🔼 All Time High. State softball head coach Samantha Ricketts has led the program to historic heights through five seasons at the helm in Starkville. After earning her 158th win with the Maroon and White, Ricketts led the Bulldogs to a 2-1 series-clinching victory over No. 12 Georgia on Sunday to finish the regular season with a .500 winning percentage in SEC play for the first time since 2007.
🗣️ "We really responded well to [Saturday], and they came out ready to play. We wanted to be confident – leave it all out on the field – and I think that's exactly what this group did." - Samantha Ricketts
🤔 BULLDOG TRIVIA
Don’t Count Out The Dawgs. Heading into the season, the outsiders did not choose Mississippi State softball to make noise in the conference. Luckily, Coach Ricketts and her team knew they had what it takes to be a contender in the SEC.
