Mississippi State Bulldogs

The Mississippi State women’s soccer team has had a great week, so far.

The Bulldogs have had two players receiver SEC weekly honors, another named to TopDrawerSoccer’s Women’s Team of the Week and they’ve reached the highest ranking in program history.

Mississippi State is ranked No. 4 in both the United Soccer Coaches and TopDrawerSoccer Top 25 polls and are ranked No. 3 in the NCAA’s RPI rankings.

Ally Perry was named the SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal against then-No. 1 Arkansas. She has seven goals and four game-winning goals this season and ranks 11th in the nation in shots per game and leads the SEC in that same category. Perry was also named to TopDrawerSoccer’s Women Team of the Week on Tuesday.

Maddy Anderson earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors after holding the nation’s top scoring offense (Arkansas) scoreless for the first time this season. It was her 10th shutout of the season and 38th in her career. She leads the SEC in goals-against average (0.19) and saver percentage (.920).

No. 4 Mississippi State (10-1-0, 4-0 SEC) returns to action this Thursday in Athens, Ga. to face Georgia (6-3-4, 2-1-2 SEC).
