Thunderstorms Cancel Mississippi State’s Season Opener
August 14, 2025 | Soccer
STARKVILLE – No. 20/22 Mississippi State soccer's season opener against UT Martin was washed out on Thursday night. Lightning struck just under an hour prior to kickoff, and heavy showers moved into the area at match time.
After waiting out the rain for nearly two hours, the two head coaches mutually agreed that the field would be unplayable and canceled the contest. The match will not be made up due to schedule conflicts later in the season.
Mississippi State's next scheduled match is on Thursday, Aug. 21 against Jacksonville State. Kickoff in Starkville is again set for 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
