Four first half goals flip the match against Oklahoma State
Mississippi State answered an early deficit with four first half goals, then protected the lead for a 4 to 1 home victory. Eden Nicholson equalized in the 18th minute. Hailey Johnson and Reganne Morris scored before Kyli Switalski converted a penalty. The Bulldogs limited Oklahoma State to one shot on goal.
The early deficit could have hurried State into poor decisions. Four goals before halftime supplied a very different answer. The second half did not need another scoring burst; protecting the advantage was enough. Holding Oklahoma State to one shot on goal gives that response some substance beyond the attacking headlines.
