Mississippi State Punches Ticket To Eighth-Straight NCAA Tournament

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State has punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament as the No. 7 seed in the Bermuda Run Regional. This is State's eighth-consecutive NCAA regional berth, which extends a program record.

The Bulldogs will travel to Bermuda Run Country Club in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to play on May 18-20. The top five seeds will advance to the National Championship tournament in Carlsbad, California.

"Making the NCAA Tournament is not something we take for granted," head coach Dusty Smith said. "This team overcame a lot this season but stuck to our process throughout. It's always a goal to be playing our best golf at the end of the year, and I feel like our guys are doing just that."

MSU is joined in North Carolina by four teams ranked in the SCOREBOARD Top 25 with the full field including:

1. Virginia
2. Ole Miss
3. Pepperdine
4. Georgia Tech
5. Southern California
6. Wake Forest
7. Mississippi State
8. Little Rock
9. NC State
10. Kentucky
11. Houston
12. Richmond
13. Navy
14. Presbyterian

State will look for its second NCAA Championship appearance in the last four seasons, having won the 2023 Morgan Hill Regional. State finished sixth in last season's Reno Regional, one spot from advancing.

This is the Bulldogs' eighth NCAA Regional appearance under Smith, the most of any coach in program history.

"To make the tournament eight years in a row is something this program should be very proud of," Smith said.
