SEC Softball Schedule Released
September 23, 2021 | Softball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference released the league's 2022 softball schedule on Thursday. Mississippi State is set to play eight three-game series against league opponents for a 24-game SEC slate.
Â
Mississippi State closed the 2021 season riding a seven-game winning streak in league play, which is just two games shy of the longest run in program history – a nine-game stretch in 2001.
Â
Conference play opens on March 11, with the Bulldogs battling Florida in Gainesville. The Gators will also host the SEC Tournament this year on May 10-14. State won the series in its last trip to Gainesville in 2019.
Â
On March 18-20, MSU hosts rival Ole Miss at Nusz Park. The last time that State played the Rebels in its home opener was on March 17, 2000, and MSU claimed a 4-3 victory before going on to sweep the series.
Â
Following it's SEC bye week, the Bulldogs travel to Tennessee on April 1-3. MSU swept the 2021 season series with the then-No. 15 Volunteers, winning both games of a doubleheader in the midst of a five-game winning streak against ranked opponents.
Â
The following week, MSU hosts Missouri on April 8-10. The Bulldogs swept the Tigers in their last trip to Starkville in 2019.
Â
State will play at Alabama on April 15-17 before hosting Auburn on April 22-24. The Bulldogs did not play either team in league play last year, but made a non-conference trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to meet the Crimson Tide.
Â
MSU's final SEC road trip takes the Bulldogs to Lexington, Kentucky, for the first time since 2019. The Bulldogs will write a new chapter in one of the most-even conference series on April 29-May 1. State holds a 30-29 all-time record against Kentucky.
Â
The SEC season wraps up on May 6-8 when the Bulldogs welcome LSU to Nusz Park. It will be State's first meeting with the Tigers since 2019.
Â
Game times and television assignments will be announced at a later date. The schedule is subject to change, including the move of some conference series weekends to Saturday-Monday dates.
