Four Bulldogs Land On All-SEC Watch List
August 18, 2021 | Soccer
STARKVILLE – A quartet of Bulldogs was named to the Preseason All-SEC Watch List on Wednesday. Mississippi State's Maddy Anderson, Alyssa D'Aloise, Onyi Echegini and Monigo Karnley were all recognized by the league.
Anderson earned All-Freshman team honors a year ago after drawing the starting nod in 12 of MSU's 13 matches. She made 44 saves and posted a 5-4-3 record. In her debut season, she earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors following a six-save effort in a draw with Alabama and was twice named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week.
D'Aloise, one of three Bulldog captains, played in eight matches last season, starting all of them. The midfielder posted seven shots in 656 minutes.
Echegini and Karnley were State's leading scorers last year with 11 points. Echegini scored five goals and added an assist in 2020-21. Karnley tallied four goals with three assists. She now boasts six career game-winning goals and is MSU's active career leader in the category. Both players started all 13 matches.
MSU opens the regular season on Thursday, Aug. 19 on the road at Lipscomb. Kickoff against the Bison is set for 6 p.m. CT.
