State Set For Battle Of The Bulldogs At Georgia On Thursday
October 18, 2017 | Soccer
STARKVILLE, Miss. – A battle between Bulldogs takes place Thursday as Mississippi State (7-4-3, 1-4-2 SEC) travels to face Georgia (4-10-1, 0-7-0) in a crucial Southeastern Conference soccer match at the Turner Soccer Complex in Athens.
The match is set for 6 p.m. CT and will be streamed live on SEC Network+, with Jeff Dantzler and Tatum Hodge on the call. Thursday's contest will be State's final regular season road match of the season.
MSU is looking to bounce back after dropping a heartbreaking 3-2 decision in double-overtime at Alabama on Sunday. In Tuscaloosa, State rallied from a 2-0 deficit to send the contest into overtime with goals from MaKayla Waldner (76') and Carly Mauldin (78'). The Bulldogs also had plenty of scoring opportunities, attempting 22 total shots and out-cornering UA 9-8.
