STARKVILLE — Exciting news came from Mississippi State women’s soccer on Thursday afternoon as it was announced that graduate student forward Kennedy White signed her first professional contract with Hungarian club Győri ETO FC.
White came to Starkville from Bowling Green this season, a place where she was a First Team All-Mid-American Conference selection and MAC Offensive Player of the Year, and had an impactful season with the Bulldogs.
White scored the game-tying goal against Brown in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament and assisted on the game-winning goal to send MSU to the Sweet 16 for the first time.
She finished with two goals and two assists on the season for MSU.
Győri ETO FC compete in the highest division of women’s soccer in Hungary, the Női NB I, which translates to “Women’s National Championship.” The club currently sits in second in the 12-team league with 54 points. The league champion automatically qualifies for the UEFA Women’s Champions League next season.
