The Ole Miss Rebels clinched the Magnolia Cup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs Thursday night with a 3-0 win.
Both teams went into the game with a 0-2 conference record, but the shutout sealed the deal for the Rebels’ first conference win.
“We knew that if we lost this game we would be putting ourselves in a hole, and we’d really have to dig to get out of that,” sophomore forward CeCe Kizer, who scored twice against the Bulldogs, said. “Winning this game is huge because it gives us so much more momentum going into the rest of conference play.
