The Bulldogs beat Tennessee on a game-winning goal in the second overtime period, but not without the nation's best defense earning its reputation.
PENSACOLA, Fla. – It’s hard to pick one player or two players in a team sport and say “they’re the reason their team won” but Mississippi State soccer just made it pretty easy.
The Bulldogs’ kept their historic season alive Tuesday night in their quarterfinal match of the SEC Championship tournament against Tennessee, winning 2-1 in the second overtime.Fast-forward through the game, past Hannah Johnson’s goal at the end of the first half and the own-goal for Tennessee that tied the game in the 73rd minute, to a moment with only a couple minutes left in regulation.
Then the game went into overtime and the game remained tied until 1:53 was left in the first of two 10-minute overtime periods. Mississippi State’s SEC Goalkeeper of the Year Maddy Anderson was called for a foul inside the Bulldogs’ penalty box .Tennessee sent Mac Midgley to take the penalty kick, a scoring opportunity even better than the one Martinez-Montoya stopped. And Anderson stopped it, saving the Bulldogs’ like a doctor with a defibrillator.
