EAST LANSING, August 30, 2024 ~ No. 4 Michigan State Women’s Soccer graduate midfielder Emily Mathews scored her first goal of the season midway through last night’s match to notch a 1-0 win over Ole Miss at DeMartin Stadium. The three points marked the first victory over an opponent from the SEC for the Spartans since 2004.
Mathews’ goal tallied the first points of her career wearing the green and white in the 52nd minute. Fellow graduate Meg Hughes recorded her third straight game with a point yesterday after assisting Mathews on the score.

(CONTINUED) The green and white dominated Ole Miss most of the night, leading in shot count 16-5 and corner kicks 11-0. Graduate goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks only needed to make one save in the second half to keep her clean sheet and earn the win.
With the win, MSU moves to three wins and one draw on the season. Next up is No. 15 Xavier on Sunday afternoon in East Lansing. This will be the third time in five games that they will face a ranked opponent.
