HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Mississippi State volleyball swept the Southern Miss Invite with a 3-1 win over the hosts this afternoon.

"I'm so proud of another great road weekend for the Bulldogs," said head coach Julie Darty Dennis. "We are working hard and learning more about ourselves every time we play, and this weekend taught us a lot. I am so proud of the team. We are growing and coming together, and that is leading us to succeed in pressure situations. We could have backed down, but we didn't and that takes a lot of toughness. We're proud of today's effort and excited to get home for a big one at The Griss on Tuesday!"
