Bulldog Roundup: Mississippi State wins big in final exhibition match

Ten of State's shots were on target in the opening 45 minutes. Meanwhile, Union took five shots, putting only one on frame, which was saved by Sarah Wommack. For the match, MSU outshot Union, 27-7, and 17 of those shots were on target. Jenny Harrison played the final 45 minutes in net for State and made one save.

The Bulldogs were originally scheduled to start its 2025 season last Thursday, but the game against UT Martin was cancelled because of weather.

"We were obviously disappointed as a group and as a staff to not play on Thursday night," head coach Nick Zimmerman said. "We felt we needed something to get a game in. Credit to Union, we reached out and they were like, 'Yeah, we'd love to come.' We're super appreciative for them coming up on a Sunday to have this opportunity. For us, it was an opportunity to get better, and that's what we all used it as."

The Bulldogs’ first regular season match is scheduled for Thursday against Jacksonville State. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. on SECN+.

Did You Notice?

• After being designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals, former Mississippi State first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is finalizing a deal to join the Boston Red Sox, according to an ESPN report. The deal, which will be for a prorated portion of the major league minimum after Lowe was designated for assignment by Washington earlier this month and went unclaimed on waivers, adds a veteran bat to a first-base mix that has been uncertain.
