STARKVILLE — This week’s United Soccer Coaches poll dropped on Tuesday, and Mississippi State women’s soccer found itself in the top 25 for the first time all season.
Following a ranked road win against Alabama, the Bulldogs entered the poll at No. 21, tying last year’s ranking for the highest in program history.
Mississippi State is one of three Southeastern Conference teams in the top 25, and the second-highest ranked of the three.
The highest-ranked SEC team will be the Bulldogs’ opponent in their final match of the regular season on Thursday night, a clash with No. 10 Arkansas in Fayetteville.
Last year in Starkville, the Bulldogs upended the then-No. 14 Razorbacks in a 2-0 shutout. Mississippi State is looking to make it two-straight matches unbeaten against Arkansas and clinch the program’s first-ever SEC West title, which the Bulldogs would do with a win.
