Mississippi State’s softball season officially starts in less than 24 hours. The Bulldogs are coming off of a bounce back season that saw them return to the NCAA Tournament after missing it the previous year. Vann Stuedeman is entering into her 7th season in Starkville as the Bulldogs’ head coach and she is looking to build upon last season’s momentum to create success this year.

Speaking of last year, how did they do last season?

As was previously mentioned, Mississippi State bounced back from a disappointing 2016 campaign. The Bulldogs went 36-22 a season ago, going 10-14 in SEC play and making it to the Salt Lake City Regional where they dropped games to BYU and Fordham in the postseason.
