STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State volleyball took down Ole Miss in a four-set victory this evening.

"It was a great team win and we're proud of the Dawgs for battling out that fourth set where it could've gone either way," said head coach Julie Darty Dennis. "Ole Miss is a very scrappy team and it took a lot of effort and execution for us to come out with a win against a tough SEC opponent. We love playing at home and the energy helps give us the edge that we need. Our serving, passing and defense were very important in this match and we fought hard for the win. Hail State!"

Tonight's victory over Ole Miss marks Darty Dennis' 100th win at MSU. She recently surpassed the 150th career victory mark earlier this season.

Three Bulldogs picked up double-doubles in tonight's matchup. Berni Aguilar collected double-digits in kills and digs, receiving her second double-double of the season. Lindsey Mangelson also tallied in kills and digs, marking her sixth double-double of the season. Cayley Hanson picked up assists and digs, collecting her fourth double-double of the season.
The squad totaled 22 blocks during the match, with Aguilar and Noella Obi leading the way with seven.

Mangelson led the team in digs with 19 over four sets for a new career high. McKenna Yates followed closely behind with 16 digs and picked up five assists. Mary Neal picked up 14 for a new season's best.

Three Bulldogs scored in the double digits, led by Aguilar, who earned 18 for a new career high. Mangelson followed closely with 17.5 and Whitfield-Moss earned 10.5.

There were 1,024 fans in attendance for tonight's match, marking the seventh-highest attendance in program history.

The Bulldogs will return to action against No. 9 Texas A&M on Sunday afternoon. The match will be held in The Griss and will be available to stream on SEC Network+.
