ATHENS, Ga. – Mississippi State found the going tough Friday night as the Bulldogs fell 5-0 to Georgia in SEC soccer action at the UGA Soccer Stadium.

Mississippi State fell to 3-11 overall and 0-7 in SEC play heading into a 1 p.m. Sunday contest at Vanderbilt that will be televised by Comcast Sports Southeast.

State found the scoring chances tough early on as UGA (10-4-1, 3-3-1 SEC) out-shot the Bulldogs 13-3 in the first half and 21-7 overall.

Marion Crowder put Georgia in front in the 8^th minute, and just under two minutes later Madeline Barker put one beneath MSU goalie CJ Winship to put the host Bulldogs in front 2-0.

Georgia took a 4-0 advantage to halftime as Cara Smith scored on a misplayed clearance and Nikki Hill fired one to the top corner from 25 yards out.

State nearly got a goal back in the 24^th minute off a Shannen Jainudeen breakaway, but the Scarbrough, Ontario, native's attempt was broken up by Georgia keeper Caitlin Woody.

Barker added her second goal of the night in the 54^th minute to put UGA up 5-0.

State kept fighting, though, and senior Elisabeth Sullivan punched one through to Jainudeen in the 63^rd minute for a shot that sailed just past a diving Woody and outside the left post.

Sullivan tried to score one of her own past Woody in the 78^th minute on a breakaway, but the Georgia goalie dove and blocked her attempt and a Halee Heltsley follow-up.

Winship registered six saves in the contest, while Woody turned away all four of MSU's on-goal opportunities.
