On Saturday, March 2nd, the Bulldogs will host a highly anticipated evening match against Alabama at 6 PM, promising an electrifying atmosphere under the lights. In the previous two matchups with Alabama, the Bulldogs have prevailed. In the 2023 regular season, State became the first team to knock off Alabama in Tuscaloosa since 2021. The rematch came in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament where State advanced past Alabama for the second time by defeating the Tide in penalty kicks, earning a spot in the SEC Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history.
Following their home fixtures, Mississippi State Soccer embarks on an exhilarating international trip to the UK from Friday, March 8th to Sunday, March 17th. The trip includes games against international competition, providing a valuable opportunity for the team to gain experience and showcase their skills on the global stage.
Upon returning from their international excursion, the Bulldogs will head to Pensacola, Florida, on Saturday, April 6th, for a thrilling doubleheader at Ashton Brosnaham Park, the site of the SEC Soccer Tournament. State will first clash with LSU at 2 PM, followed by a matchup against Florida at 3:30 PM. The day concludes with LSU facing off against Florida at 5 PM.
In 2023 against Florida, State fought valiantly the full 90 minutes and earned a 1-0 victory in Gainesville for the first time in program history. Meanwhile, the Tigers got the better of the Bulldogs last time out in a fiercely fast-paced matchup in Baton Rouge with a score of 2-1.
The Bulldogs will wrap up the spring as they travel to Memphis for a challenging away game against the Tigers on Saturday, April 13th at 3:00 PM. Memphis completed the 2023 slate with an impressive 20-2 mark, advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Head Coach James Armstrong underscored the importance of the upcoming spring matchups, expressing, "These fixtures play a pivotal role in our program's growth. They offer a chance for emerging players to step onto the field and gain valuable experience. Spring is about development and opportunity particularly when playing versus such quality opposition."
