Bulldogs Drop Road Test To Ole Miss
September 22, 2016 | Soccer
OXFORD, Miss. – Marking the first meeting between the two soccer programs since Sept. 19, 2014, Mississippi State (5-5-0, 0-3-0) couldn't overcome Ole Miss (6-5-0, 1-2-0 SEC) as the Rebels downed the Bulldogs, 3-0.
"We didn't have what it took tonight to defeat a team like this," head coach Aaron Gordon said. "Tip your hat to Ole Miss, because they did what they needed to win tonight. This is a tough one, but we are going to reset and turn our focus to Missouri on Sunday."
Ole Miss came out of the gate to earn its first goal, as junior Liza Harbin scored in the fifth minute off an assist from Maddi Falter. MSU performed well defensively after the score, as the Bulldogs held Ole Miss off the board for the remainder of the half.
A pair of scores from CeCe Kizer in the 56th and 64th minutes stretched Ole Miss' lead to 3-0, as the Rebels sealed its first win in conference.
Smith Records A Start
Junior Hannah Smith received the starting nod against Ole Miss, marking her first start since Oct. 25, 2015 (Alabama). The Dallas, Texas native spent almost six months away from soccer following an ACL injury suffered back in March.
Goal Scoring Rundown:
UM – (5:01) Junior Liza Harbin scored early for Ole Miss, after Maddi Falter crossed the ball into the box as Harbin earned her first goal of the season.
UM – (56:27) CeCe Kizer chipped in a goal from about 10 yards out as Gretchen Harknett earned the assist to put Ole Miss up, 2-0
UM – (64:14) Kizer cleaned up a loose ball to earn her second goal of the night to cap the Ole Miss scoring for the game.
Up Next
The Maroon and White continues the road swing with a trip to Missouri on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT. The Bulldogs earned a 1-1 draw with the Tigers last season in Starkville, marking the first result for MSU against Missouri in the head-to-head series.
