State Continues SEC Play At Missouri

STARKVILLE – No. 15 Mississippi State is headed to Missouri on Friday to take on the Tigers at 7 p.m. CT. The match is set to air live on SEC Network+, and MSU brings a series of streaks into the match.

The Bulldogs will again wear their black uniforms that they've previously worn at Texas and in the home wins over then-No. 10 Wake Forest and then-No. 1 Tennessee. State has won 10 consecutive matches when wearing black.

Another streak on the line pertains directly to this week's matchup. MSU is undefeated in its last five meetings with Missouri, but the Bulldogs have not won in Columbia since 2019.

Ally Perry continues to etch her name all across the Bulldog record book. She has scored in each of the last three games, and has a point in four straight. Her run is the 22nd three-game goal-scoring streak in program history, and should she extend it to four games, she would be tied for the third-longest streak in school history. The last four-game streak came in 2018 when MaKayla Waldner scored in five straight and Zakirah McGillivary scored in four consecutive games.

Finally, Sarah Wommack has gotten off to a tremendous start to her MSU career. She is the first Bulldog goalkeeper since at least 2003 to win her first two SEC games in maroon and white and to go undefeated through her first three career SEC matches. The Bulldogs have not lost a conference game since 2023, a run of 13 straight SEC matches.
