Ally Perry – First Team All-SEC (Midfielder); SEC Midfielder of the Year
Perry leads the team in goals (7), assists (7), points (21), shots (52) and shots on goal (23). She now sits inside the MSU career top five in goals, assists, points, game-winning goals and game-winning assists. Perry found the net in each of the Bulldogs' first five conference matches, marking the third five-game scoring streak in program history. Her recognition marked the third consecutive year for State with at least one First Team All-SEC member.Â
Zoe Main – Third Team All-SEC (Forward)
Behind Perry, Main is second on the team in goals (6) and points (14). Her conference season started on a high as she was the first player to score on then-No.1 Tennessee in 2025. She then closed the season with a goal in three of State's final four regular-season games including her fourth career game-winning goal at Alabama. Main has earned All-SEC status in each of the last two years.Â
Hannah Jibril – Third Team All-SEC (Defender)
Jibril made the move from forward to defense this season and transitioned excellently. She has started all 16 matches this season and leads the team in minutes played. Despite having never played more than 74 minutes entering the season, she went the full 90 minutes seven times this year. Jibril anchored a Bulldog back line that allowed an average of just 9.8 shots per game, which marks the program's fourth straight year allowing fewer than 10.0 attempts per match.Â
Adia Symmonds – SEC All-Freshman Team
Symmonds has played a key role for State in her first collegiate season. She is third on the team in points (8) and second in assists (4), and she led all State freshmen in minutes played, starting all but one match. The only time Symmonds did not start was when she missed a game while playing overseas with the United States U-19/U-18 Women's National Team. She recorded assists on two of the three goals in the win over No. 1 Tennessee and made the final pass to Perry on the game-tying goal as well.Mississippi State will open the SEC Tournament on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 4:30 p.m. CT against Oklahoma. The match will air live on the SEC Network.
