Murillo Tabbed SEC Co-Freshman Of The Week
September 22, 2025 | Soccer
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's Laila Murillo has been selected as SEC Co-Freshman of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.Â
Murillo scored twice in her return to her home state of Texas on Thursday night, helping the Bulldogs cruise to a 3-0 victory over the Longhorns. Her goals came in the 64th and 77th minutes and marked her first career multi-goal game.Â
The Dallas, Texas, native put every shot she took this week on frame, and she is one of 10 players with a multi-goal game in SEC play this season, including just four freshmen.Â
The win marked State's 12th consecutive SEC victory and moved the Bulldogs to a 7-1-0 record through eight matches for the second year in a row. Â
Murillo's honors mark the second consecutive week that a Bulldog has earned a conference honor. It's the first time State has had SEC players of the week in back-to-back weeks since Sept. 12 and Sept. 19, 2022, a season that saw MSU claim three Freshman of the Week awards. Â
Ally Perry was the league's Offensive Player of the Week last week for her game-winning goal against No. 1 Tennessee. Kennedy Husbands was the last Bulldog to earn Freshman of the Week recognition, doing so on Oct. 31 last fall.Â
The Bulldogs, now 7-1-1 and 2-0-1 in conference play, have just one match this week, traveling to Missouri on Friday night. Kickoff in Columbia is set for 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.Â
