The Mississippi State women's golf team celebrates the first Southeastern Conference team championship in program history.
The Bulldogs earned their first conference trophy after defeating Texas A&M 3-2. With the victory on Tuesday, Mississippi State became the 11th team since 2000 to win both the individual and team title following Julia Lopez Ramirez's second straight individual championship on Sunday.
Avery Weed proved stellar again for the Bulldogs.
In her matchup against Zoe Slaughter, Weed dropped the first hole. She immediately came back to tie her match on hole two. She secured the lead on the fourth hole of the matchup and never trailed again. Weed hit a pair of impressive shots to secure the victory. She used a "Texas Wedge" style shot to regain the lead on the 13th hole to regain a one-hole lead. On the 17th hole, Weed's approach shot landed mere inches from the pin, which allowed her to secure MSU's championship by a 2&1 victory.
