LAST TIME OUT
Ole Miss dropped its road match against No. 7 Arkansas 1-4 this past Friday in Fayetteville. Arkansas would lead 2-0 at halftime and added two more goals late in the second half. Katie Ramsden converted her third PK goal of the season and keeper Sidney O'Billovich made seven saves in the match.

WHAT'S ON FILM
Mississippi State (8-1-1, 3-0-1 SEC) enters off a 3-0 shutout win against Missouri. The Bulldogs have surrendered just eight goals and forced five shutouts this season. Ally Perry leads Mississippi State in goals (6), assists (6) and points (18). Nick Zimmerman is in his first season at the helm of the Bulldogs. Zimmerman was an assistant for six seasons under former head coach James Armstrong before assuming the role on December 3, 2024.

13 IS CRAFTY
Sophomore Katie Ramsden showed promise last season for Ole Miss and is delivering in year two for the Rebels. The Leeds, England native leads Ole Miss in goals, assists and points. She tallied her third PK goal in the match at Arkansas and is 3-of-3 this season on penalty attempts. Earlier this year she became the first Rebel since Channing Foster in 2019 to score in three consecutive matches.

TOUGH, TALENTED AND GRITTY
Freshman Brooklyn Marn has emerged as a rising star for the Rebels just nine games into her collegiate career. The Olathe, Kansas product is second in goals and points this season for Ole Miss. Marn scored in the season opener against Memphis and tallied her first career game winning goal in the match against Louisiana.

THE BLINCOE FILE
Tate Blincoe has been impactful since she stepped on campus in the fall of 2024. The Bardstown, Kentucky native started all 19 games her freshman year and led the team in minutes played.

In year two, Blincoe continues to hold down the fort along the Ole Miss back line but has also flashed her skillset on the offensive end. She tallied her first collegiate goal in the win over UT Martin and collected an assist in the match against No. 21 Georgia. Blincoe is one of five Rebels to start every game this season.
