Mississippi State Women's Golf wins SEC Championship
April 16, 2024 | Women's Golf
BELLEAIR, Fla. – For the first time in program history, the Mississippi State women's golf team can call itself SEC Champions.
The Bulldogs earned their first conference trophy after defeating Texas A&M, 3-2. With the victory on Tuesday, Mississippi State became the 11th team since 2000 to win both the individual and team title following Julia Lopez Ramirez's second straight individual championship on Sunday.
Avery Weed proved stellar again. In her matchup against Zoe Slaughter, Weed dropped the first hole. She immediately came back to tie her match on hole two. She secured the lead on the fourth hole of the matchup and would never trail again. Weed hit a pair of impressive shots to secure the victory. She used a "Texas Wedge" style shot to regain the lead on the 13th hole to regain a one-hole lead. On the 17th hole, Weed's approach shot landed mere inches from the pin, which allowed her to secure State's championship by a 2&1 victory.
Julia Lopez Ramirez earned the first point for the Bulldogs in impressive fashion. Lopez Ramirez won the first hole of the day and never looked back. She secured her point in just 13 holes, as she dominated Park en route to the 5&4 victory.
Izzy Pellot was once again reliable for the Bulldogs in the final round of the SEC Championship. After earning the lead on hole two, Pellot would never give it up. She secured her matchup with a birdie on the 16th hole, as she earned the point, 2&1.
The Bulldogs will continue their postseason journey with the NCAA Regionals, which are set for May 3. State will learn their destination when the selections take place on April 24.
