Ole Miss heads southeast for Magnolia Cup rivalry

After a battle in a difficult overtime game against Missouri to open up SEC play, coach Matt Mott and his team look forward to the two-game week.

The Rebels travel to Mississippi State on Thursday for their rivalry matchup. Head coach Matt Mott is hoping for the team’s first conference win despite historically having trouble winning in Starkville.

Ole Miss leads the all-time series 13-6-3, but have only won one match in the past four trips south. The Rebels beat the Bulldogs 2-0 in Oxford last season.

Mississippi State is a dynamic team with a new coach despite their modest record, and Mott expressed that it will be a challenge to get a win down there.
